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

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....
It can hurt
Putting all of our being into something
After being out of things
For so long
Putting ourselves behind that steel wall
Handmade by our own thoughts
And that cage
Created by our own fears
To just be hurt again
To hurt that trust
Being betrayed
Is never easy..
But eventually we put that wall back up
Raise our standards
Make ourselves hole once more
And try everything all ag...
