Jaded

I sit alone
 I can't sleep so I ponder
Why it's always me whose left to wonder
  Could I ever trust another?
But it's you who has done me so wrong
Joke's on me 
I was the one stupid enough to stay
Blind all along
 Anyone else would've known what was going on
 
When people take advantage of kindness
I think maybe it is a weakness
Or at the very least, it is
 In a world like this
 Where you'd die for the one behind the gun
Pointed at your heart
And then you realize they never cared
 Again it happens, just like before
Slowly tearing you apart
I miss that girl who trusted, loved with her all
  Too blinded by the good, never knew nor saw
I want to go back to believing in everything and knowing nothing at all.

Sorry, it's hard when you drop your guard and you release everything to the trust of another and matters little. This reminds me of a quote that we are not to cast our pearls amoung the swine...It's just hard to know sometimes who the swine is. Thank you for sharing :)

thank you. Trust has been broken with about everyone I've known. I just need to start over :)
