Safely Dangerous

You were my safe place.

You made me feel normal and like it was okay to be me.

I smiled and laughed around you.

And now all I want is to run away when I see you.

Your arms grew thorns and your heart became encased in ice.

It hurts when you reach out to me.

Your touch used to calm me but now all I feel is danger around you.

Maybe you didn't mean to hurt me then, but you did.

And that's all I can remember.

I never used to be scared of you.

You were the one person I could trust, and you ruined it.

I remember the way it felt to be laying on the ground, cast aside by you.

It was cold and I curled up into a ball to stay warm.

Even though you promised to never make me feel that way, you did.

So why do you reach out now?

Why do you wonder why I hide from you?

I used to come to you in the darkness of the night because you were my nightlight.

Everything became beautiful around you.

My twisted mind quieted and stilled as you willed it to be.

However, I assure you, that we will never be the same again.

Even if I forgive you I will never trust you the same.

I suppose I used to think of you as not human.

You seemed so perfect to me.

I forgot that humans are weak.

They break and they make mistakes.

Yes, I'm human, and I know I mess up a lot.

You were like an angel, but now your spell has worn off and the fragility of humans and their relationships are revealed.

I'm leaving tonight.

Please don't try to find me for your efforts will be to no avail.

You won't find me in this world or the next.

AN: I know, it hurts severely when you let someone in and they ruin you; they break that trust you gave them.
