The Girl Who Cried Wolf...

jaimeleigh

What happened between us...?

I thought out of everyone, you was the one I could trust...

We was once so close you & me...

The apple of your eye you use to say to everybody...

Whenever I was suppose to do something wrong, you didn't scream & shout...

We sat down & talked it out...

So what was so different this time...?

You didn't even acknowledge me because you believed her instead of me...

How come she managed to convince you, when it never worked before...

You was there when I was ten & she kicked me out the door...

I know I didn't help my cause, because of all the lies I told in school...

But not once did I ever say or tell a lie about you...

But you should have known, mum was going spare because she didn't want me there...

Any extreme she was willing to go...

This too is something you knew...

Mum didn't love or want me... 

Your words I heard time & again...

I wanted to hurt her by the lies that I told...

Instead I gave her the firing gun to hold...

I don't understand how it went from bad to worse, when you was my blessing & she was my curse...

You'd be angry to if your mum didn't want or love you...

In-fact I knew what hate felt like at seven...

But I never hated you...

You was the one who use to make sense to me... 

With you I knew I belonged...

I didn't think anyone could come between us because we was always so strong...

Maybe I was too cocky all along... 

I never expected her to get to you like she did with everybody we knew... 

You & nanny always was there for me... 

You both always stood up for me when Jo would start on me with no reason she knew in her heart, & so did the both of you...

For once I promise you I didn't lie, I didn't say them awful things I swear it's true... 

This out of everything I did do & lie about I didn't do... 

This I can never understand how she got away with what she had planned...

It doesn't matter now I suppose...

The damage was done, the next day I was gone into care...

It didn't matter now, Jo could do what she wanted too because I was gone, she got what she wanted all along... 

I just wish you would have spoken to me like every time before...

I can't help but wonder was I the sacrifice you had to make in order to win her back... 

To try again I don't know to what end... 

All I know is that I was put into care, never to return... 

But the one thing I did learn was never to tell any more lies... 

Crying wolf made my life hell & took me away from you...

My dad, Who should have known he was the apple of my eye too...
