who gave you the right
to judge me?
you don't know me.
you think you do because
you've seen a facebook post
or a tweet

how dare you spread lies —
lies that wrecked me.
lies that made me
question everything

you have no consequences
for what you did to me.
I'm sure you have never
even given it a second thought.
you're out of my life now
but the damage you did to me
has left a scar on my heart.
