you once told me
'no matter what happens
no matter the circumstances
i'll always be here to catch you if you fall.
always.'
but, you weren't the safety net
you promised to be
you were full of blades and knives
ready to hurt me any moment
with your painful lies
that i believed were the truth.
you welcomed me with loving arms
hands holding onto knives
ready to stab me in the back
at my weakest
to make me believe
all your lies.
i was under your spell
and there was nothing i could do
to get out of it.
you left me
torn, tattered
bloodied
and a heart that never healed
a soul that never mended.
from then on,
seas of red were all i saw.
long-sleeved shirts were all i wore.
from then on,
i cry everyday because of the pain
you inflicted on me.
from then on,
i cant bring myself to trust
i can never believe people
when they tell me
'you're pretty'
'i love you'
'i'll be there for you'
because those were what you promised
and you broke them.
were promises made
to be kept
or
to be broken?
you promised to be there for me
to catch me if i fell
but you never did.
look where that got me.
i'm no longer human.
just a ghost,
a shadow of who i used to be.
