heart strings disconnected

You won't understand the pain of another
until it's your experience.

Over and over,
I've been deceived and deprived of love.

And still why can't I let go?

Why can't I hate,
did I deserve it?
No.

Manipulation. Trauma Bonds.
So real. So raw.
Even after the pain,
I still have love.

The more I hurt,
the more I can feel those heart strings in my chest
disconnect and die,
until I'm incapable of trust.

Yet I still have love.
