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
