Journey Of Life

8. Why did I trust ?

They came in bringing hope, 
With promises, so sweet to cope 
But as time went by, it faded away 
The promises they made, only seemed to weigh 
Me down, instead of lifting me up 
I thought I was special, but I was just a cup 
Of many that they filled, then left to dry, when they were done

Why did I trust? 
Why did I let myself fall for their stunts? 
Did I not see the signs, they were just going to play

Like strings attached to their hearts, 
Their words now pulled my heartstrings apart 
I was just a fool, believing in their words 
Now I'm just lost, my heart now adorned 
With broken promises and shattered dreams 
I feel so alone, my feelings hard to contain 
I wish I hadn't trusted, that I had been wary 
Of the fake words they used to ensnare

The more I gave, the less I received 
Their words were so sweet, yet their actions were cold 
It was like a game they played, where they were always the winner 
And I was the one, left always asking for more

Now I'm left with heartache, and a broken spirit 
Feeling so low, I lost my own worth and will 
I should have known better than to let myself get attached 
But I believed in the lies, and now I'm haunted by my past

I pretend to be tough, 
When my heart was breaking, I acted all aloof 
But deep down, I'm struggling, hurting, and alone 
While you never checked on me, or even picked up your phone

My mind was swirling, with thoughts and hurt 
Yearning for your comfort, and a gentle caress 
But you never came, even when I called out your name 
Did you not feel anything at all, or did you just forget my pain?

I thought you were someone I could count on, 
But my trust was misplaced, a belief soon gone 
I kept waiting, hoping you'd come through 
But you never showed up, to rescue me like I had hoped you'd do

Why did I trust ?
