shattered trust

broken heart

hurtful past

dreading doom

tired eyes

crying out

endless nights

painful rues...

I can’t believe it, how could she?

Bruises, cuts, all over me.

No apology, no sorry.

I try to forget, really try.

I try hard not to, but I cry.

I try to make my words flow now,

But my poetry is dead, left me.

I wept for my words, not my hurt,

I used to write my problems down,

Flowing, syllables, symmetry, simple,

Now my words are stuck, gone, missing.

I write things down, they rhyme for sure,

N...

He said trust me, I’ll keep you safe.

I’ll protect you and never let you go.

He promised and promised, so many broken promises.

He told me I was his one in a million, that I saved him.

But how could I have saved him when I was barely saving myself?

I trusted him, I trusted him with my life. To keep safe and warm at night.

He broke so many promises, cut me off from the people I cherished the ...

I built my life upon your lies

Trusting you hurts more

Then you'll realize

I loved you more than I loved life

I cared too much

I held you so high

I wanted to be like you

How to sing so beautiful

How to smile so brightly

Your laugh is beautiful

I didn't realize the shadow you cast

The songs you sang in the morning

Became a warning you were slipping

You stopped smiling a real sm...

the water is still and smooth in the pool

and the bee floats gracefully

wings waterlogged, pollen drifting away

but it breaks, ripples, splashes-

as children, laughing, jump in

and the bee is swept away, away

down the drain

and oh, the octopus holds a knife in each hand

but the cat scoffs,

you’re one short

but the cat is curious, too curious

and the octopus has done its job w...

The day I met you,

I thought I could trust you,

I could put my world in your hands,

And you wouldn’t change a thing about it,

Even if you really wanted to,

But I was very wrong about that.

Knowing you made me realize,

That you can’t trust anyone,

Not even the people you trust with your life,

Trusting someone takes a lot of time,

And when you ruin it,

It takes even more time to fix it,

And...

It’s funny you know

That you fucked up my life

And you won’t let me move on

Hissed in all my friends ears

Hissed how much of a bitch I was

Since obviously anyone who sets boundaries is sensitive

And being sensitive is being a bitch

So now its a new year

New kids I’m trying to make friends with

So why the fuck are you hissing in their ears too?

I gave up last year

You won

I restarted

But I can't

I ...

Trust is like a plastic cup

The more you play with it

The more damaged it gets

The less it can hold...

The world that keeps on teaching lies.

Star crossed lovers, maybe spies.

Sweet nothings whispered, lullabies.

Love and hate, they seem to rhyme.

I read the words the authors wrote.

Stories that will fuel my hopes.

Enemies to lovers tropes.

Tying up my heart with ropes.

Teaching me that love is toxic.

God it makes me feel moronic.

What is love?

And what’s platonic?

If you’re the song, the...

I had faith in you, confided in you, and relied on you until I discovered your true intentions of envy. You concealed it expertly, causing me to question my trust in you and leaving me shattered. I hope you learn from this experience, as it has taught me to be more cautious in trusting others too quickly to avoid the heartache of broken trust....
