Trust

I wondered when it started
To only remember it started with her
The one I called my best friend for the first time.
Then I met another
Who claimed to be nothing like her
And soon became my best friend
Only to turn out worse than her

I wondered what went wrong
Was it because of me or
Was it because of them
I closed my eyes to recount
The number of days I was a fool
To believe their words to only loose count

I tried to remove her from my life
But it hurt
Like when you peel a scab from a wound
I smile to the world to show everything is fine
That I am as fine as they expect me to be.

But under every single facade of mine
I am breaking and hiding and crying
Hoping to get a grip on myself to remember
to never trust again
