No More Faith Or Trust In Men

I can't remember a time when
My heart trusted any men
Because all those in my past
Made all my trust issues last
From a father not caring
About all the days I'm tearing 
Up from the love he never granted
And the tender hugs I wanted
Or a brother who gave me
Love I was too young to see
Was hurtful and very fake
Too much for a kid to take
No one there for protection
From all this wrong and deception
Growing up and getting wise
I learned all the painful lies
Could never leave my heart alone
Every memory they've shown
Me how unfaithful men can be
Leaving my life misery
In a child growing up too fast
Because of the sorrowed past
I was forced to grow up in
Each day I begin again
Picturing how I can not
Keep my world from falling apart
From the flashing nightmares of
The memories of hurtful love
