Bitterness

With prefect subtlety It creeps in. Woven in the words that you speak; A part of the air that you breathe out. Like a fading scare I'm subconsciously aware Of its presence, But don't notice it seep inside me. Then without warning, It takes control. Small things built up over time; Slowly breaking down my trust. I begin to question, I started to doubt, What you really think of me. Little moments replay in my mind. I take a step back And realize its effect Something seemingly small Destroyed something so beautiful.
