I feel used up, abused. My soul is sore and scarred, and compassion has withered away inside me. Do you even know what your carelessness has done to me?
No one else can see me screaming, hear my pain. They don’t think I’m worthy of the emotion. They make excuses for you, blaming your disease. You don’t really mean to rip me in half.
They can’t excuse my feelings, and they are uncomfortable. I won’t disguise my pain any longer for their comfort. It has eaten away at my soul and made it raw.
And you don’t even know what it is that you’ve done.

Wonderful expression of bitterness!
We've all been there at one time or another. You captured the feeling in words really well.
