You knew, Didn't you?


I hadn't felt this way in a long time,
The pain,
hurt,
sorrow,
but of course you made me feel like this,
you made me feel like I didn't belong,
like I shouldn't exist,
I just wanted to be alone,
Why did you even do this?
You knew that it would hurt,
you knew that it would get back to me,
you knew,
didn't you?
Isn't that why you did it?
So that I could feel the hurt and pain?
So that I could look at myself and see someone stupid?
I blocked you on social media,
but you are still there,
you are still there just in a different form,
you knew didn't you?
That you would exist even after you were "Gone"  
you knew,
didn't you?

    Wow. You've got a lot of emotion packed into this. I'm interested to hear a little bit more about what happened, though. It could be an interesting edit, or even a second poem.
    Thanks for posting!
