Trusting is hurting

When I first met you in the middle of the street
My sister introduced you and I felt complete 
You came over to me with stories to tell
And it got me thinking “We’ll get along well”

I was afraid to even text you and reveal my weak side 
And you showed how right I was to fear the spotlight 
Our talks transformed into a diary no one would read
Not even you to help me overcome my need

Every day questioning “Why I do exist?”
But your visit showed me a glimpse of hell’s twist
Someone once told me the saddest moment is 
When who gave you the best memories turns into nightmares

Why did ours become such a painful tale?
Happy times now clouded by the names you’d fling
Thought we’d help each other, hand in hand
Yet the aid felt unbalanced, just a one-way spring

Trusting is hurting, I've learned this too well
Our friendship crumbled like a cracked shell
Now I'm picking up pieces, trying to mend
A heart that was broken by a once dear friend

The laughter we shared now feels so far away
Replaced by the echoes of things you would say
I gave you my trust and you tore it apart
Left me to heal my own shattered heart

So I'll move forward and I’ll stand tall
Learning from the rise, not the fall
