Victim of manipulation

Overwhelmed with sadness

My safe place when I feel sad

I thought you were a friend until you started playing mind games and I told you how I felt about you everything changed. You would become hot and cold and only reach out when you wanted something in return. My hopes and dreams of finding someone after years of being alone and focus on myself after a divorce. I prayed for true love. I thought

I found that with you until we made love it changed everything and you became distant. I cry almost every day because I thought I new better and wouldn’t let anyone ever hurt me emotionally again, I feel like I have failed love to many times. I wish it didn’t hurt so bad but, it does. Love is suppose to be kind but, I feel it’s failed me way to many times so I have decided I’m going to become cold and numb and never let anyone in again. Because if being a victim of manipulation.
