When I Leave My Trust Vulnerable

i dont miss the lies
and excuses 
my heart almost dies
and yet it refuses 

cant have it both ways  
over the yellow line
on those bliss days
no rewind  

yesterday so simple
today very hard
the last appearing dimples 
are now painful scars 

im walking down a desolate street
when suddenly one car appears
speeding down to a deathly meet
as the sadness falls as tears  


the driver feeling in control
and i feeling powerless
who are they to fool
the outcome of this

as the car crashes,which is intolerable
i see my life flash before my eyes
when i leave my trust vulnerable 
someone seems to lose a life
