Mistrust

208 days

30 weeks

7 months


That’s how long I was with you

It’s how long I was my happiest,

Most adventurous, growing self


I had trusted you

But that trust had evaporated into the clear sky

Sending me spiraling

And not handing me a parachute

Plummeting me to my death


It was 221 days

31 weeks

7 months


Of heartbreak

Growth

And confusion


I’ve found heartbreak as a comfort

And a death

While a sacrifice was forced on a broke being

With nowhere to go

Wow 🤯


Heartbreakingly beautiful ❤️‍🩹

Thank you! I wrote it from the heart

❤️‍🩹 No problem! It’s a really good writing, even if it is heartbreaking. I seem to think heartbreaking poetry has the best potential and just generally better than other poetry. Don’t get me wrong, I love all poetry, but this kind of poetry just hits me hard.


Sorry that was long 😅
