Broken Trust

They come in shining, but their words cut deep,

Like a shadow creeping, in my heart they seep.

You borrowed my warmth, then let it freeze,

Turned my trust to dust with such ease.

Lied through your teeth, stole what was mine,

Left me broken, drowning in time.

You played the victim, cried your tears,

While I was bleeding, faced my fears.

Thought I was bound, to your toxic charm,

But I found my strength, I’ll come to harm no more.

Toxic snake in my garden, you slither and deceive,

Used me, bruised me, then took your leave.

Now I see through your disguise,

Your victim costume, truth in lies.

Once I was blind, now I see clear,

Your poison runs thin, I end the game here.

No more playing your twisted part,

Breaking these chains, healing my heart.

So goodbye to the shadows, I walk away,

From your toxic love, I finally stray.

Your victim’s mask, I refuse to wear,

Found my own peace, free from your snare.
