    To The Predator, From The Prey.

    You took advantage of me
    You knew how I felt and you used it against me
    I was delirious, but it felt wrong
    It wasn’t just you and I
    You involved everyone
    Other people I’d never met
    I’d never even met you
    I’ve tried to forget
    I can’t
    Someone was there recording moments with a click of a shutter
    I just wanted you
    I didn’t want them
    It was too much
    I felt overwhelmed
    Polluted
    Nausea that was both physical and mental set in
    I tried to rid myself of all of the impurities I had amassed
    But there are relapses
    Snapshots keep materializing in my mind from associations that seem insignificant
    They aren’t insignificant to me
    Each association brings back a memory
    I can’t escape
    I feel powerless
    Alone
    You did this to me
    I let my guard down
    I hate myself so much for letting my guard down
    I should hate you
    Now I am worthless
    My eyes had life
    Now they are dead
    You were the hunter
    I was the hunted
    You tried to kill me
    Unfortunately you didn’t
    I’d much rather be dead
    Instead I’m wounded beyond repair

    The Theme, The title is awesome, and you expressed yourself well. I'm sure you'll have your day, the ending is cool.

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
