TW: ⚠️mentions of suicide and OD⚠️

Betrayal feels like a gunshot wound killing you

Slowly

Painfully

Betrayal feels like a knife stabbing your heart

Again

And again

Betrayal feels like your soul leaving your body

You try to get it back

You try to grasp onto what little life you have left

But just like that it’s gone

And you feel as your childlike innocence and love for life fades with it

You try to heal

You try to move past it

But there is no moving past something that tears you apart

So badly that you can’t be put back together

No therapist can fix your problems

But that orange container on the counter has your miracle

Your way out of the hole you dug yourself into

You take one

Two

Three

Over and over until you reach the light you’ve waited for

Your escape

And when they find your body they won’t know why you left

Because betrayal is silent

It lurks in the dark passageways of your mind

Until you are no longer there
