How could you?

I have been hurt by many, but the pain is much worse when it comes from someone I thought was not capable of such hurt.

Perhaps the attack came from some deep place inside you. Perhaps I brought it on somehow. Wherever it came from, it hurt with the sharpness of a blade that could not have been sharper. You sliced me to the core. You made me feel like a trapped animal, and I lashed out.

Now I am lost. I do not trust that you won't do it again. You made me fearful. You made me want to run away.

Now what?
