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 😅
