Subject: She played me.
She played me like a _song_. For months, I was patient. Understanding. Giving of time, and distance, and support. Whatever was asked, I did. I kept myself away, gave her privacy, permitted her the space she craved to discover who and what she is.
I know what she is now. She is a betrayer, a whore, a destroyer.
And she took my attemps at doing the right thing, at being a decent fellow, and drove a knife into their heart. She was everything to me - you all know that, to one degree or another. All my hopes, all my dreams rested with her. If I did a good thing, a proper thing, I lived for the smile I would receive, the kind word. She was my path to redemption, if you'll forgive the lurid turn of phrase.
I'm a goddamned empath. Why do I permit these inconveniences? Loki was right about me. I'm too soft.
