I wrote you that letter,
by an unknown source.
You responded so well
untill you knew it was me.
We shared secret insights
and feelings so deep.
You told me your fears
as I told you my weaknesses.
You wishes for my identity
but could live without one.
Praising the words
the ones flowing from my heart.
Such a short bond was created,
it was created by honesty.
I told you I knew you
and I was not ilusive to you.
You were the one who in life
crushed all my dreams.
But to this unknown person
you encouraged me to conquer my dreams.
I said maybe I was a freind
one lookng for a way to communicate w/you.
You said you knew of noone,
not a person whom could write like me.
But without you knowing,
I was the freind that was your toy.
YOu tossed me around and used my heart
unknowing that I was your secret freind.
You put no trust in this girl,
in what I could accomplish.
TElling me about this great secret person,
how you wish I was like them.
But I was them,
no, they were me.
This was the only way to let you see,
see who the real me was.
That there was this hidden side,
one which you never took time to notice.
Such anger flowed in your heart,
when discovering it was me.
Why?
Was it the fact that you felt guilt ridden,
so bad cause you had dounbted a freind.
Help me to know that you saw the real me,
the side of which noone knew of.
That I found a way to show you I cared,
that I was more a freind then you ever were.

Well done, Maitay. I could feel the hurt you described in this piece. You express yourself really clearly.
