is this how life works?
if it is then it sucks
i was uninformed and i lost it
i lost myself upon savoring the feeling
of being left dumbfounded
i almost even knelt just to give them
the world they deserve
i almost placed them on pedestal
for they tend to be my world
i almost cut my body just for them
to know the percentage of my trust
and I almost died when they left me
with mouth being sewed
by their chained words.
i almost...
i nearly...
and fearfully saw myself
being dragged away from them, clueless.
right after, I saw myself and pitied my eyes
for witnessing how life became so evil.
i was walking without a cover on my body
they were looking at me without my head
i was giving them an olive since years
they gave me a rotten pomegranate
in the nineteenth of September.
i was left dumbfounded.
what happened?
"Thou shall not betray" and
"thou shall not trust too much"
i forgot to do the second
and they broke the first
what will you feel if this happens to you?
For to me, i turned jelly, cried out loud,
thinking what I did to deserve this.
i loved them since then and too much love
made me drive myself in pain.
they took advantage of me
and pulled the back of my face.
and eventually, i was left nothing
but disappointment and profound anger.
but the thing is...
i only felt that for I have loved them
and I forgot to look straight in the mirror
without their faces to be seen.
i forgot to forget how they pain me fully
for theyʼre the least i expected to betray me.
