trusted betrayal

you thought that we could grow alone, together.
that didn't work,
and i can't stand to be alone.
yet here i am,
alone at worst
because someone,
somewhere-
they think that i deserve this.
there's no way an innocent person,
who goes out of their way to do anything for anyone,
deserves the pain that im experiencing.
there has to be some sort of justification,
some reason why.
i'm sick of hiding certain parts of myself,
as i know someday someone will love me for every part-
but that exact person could be wishing this struggle on me right now.
trust is a word that defines a characteristic of betrayal,
if you don't trust them to begin with-
how will they betray you?
