You were supposed to be the one protecting me from all the evil in the world


I'm supposed to feel safe in your arms

You're supposed to be my safe space,

someone I can turn to in times of need


but instead


all I feel when I look at you is hatred

Your touch sends shivers down my spine

like a snake slowly crushing the life out of me

When you're around 

I hold my breath

unable to breath until you're out of sight


Dreams of being treated like a princess long gone

like the love I thought you once had for me


You were the first to break my heart

stepped all over it

The first to damage me


The first and last man I'll ever trust.
