Thoughts

Sorry is what I get and sorry is what I hear. A word I loath so much, like needles 
piercing my ears. Love is a word I hear and love is the word I get but It doesn't mean a 
thing when it spills from your lips. Promises get made and promises got broken, like a 
none ending cycle because no one knows how to be real anymore. Each time your let 
down your heart dies a little more, close to being life less and completely shut off, to all 
who try to reach for it. Each tear that slips from your eyes and all the hurt that rises in 
side breaks you to nothing because you just can't take it anymore. You feel at your 
lowest, feel so unwanted. Because so far everything just goes wrong. But yet you get 
back up and you’re ready to love again because that day can be your last; you risk it all 
and remind your self to regret noting. You hold your head tall and promise your self 
"never again will I let them see me fall" you build up Walls and let no one in close 
enough to be able to break your heart but you to break there's. You listen to know one 
because. You’re afraid its just evils lies that can leek through your ears. You notice a lot 
has changed and a lot is different and wish sometimes it can just be simple again but it 
can't that thought scares you to the core of change in your life you may not bargain for. 
You know that is life though so you keep trudging on trying to find more but afraid to let 
it in. One day you will ask your self "what am I doing here anyways, why am I here?" 
Because your life is not as perfect as you want and so much happens you just can't 
stand it anymore so you push away all that is close to you. Till you have nothing left 
anymore. All you knew is unknown and all you are is long gone. So you don't even know 
who you are anymore. And think back to those days when it was easy and great when 
you had it all. Why you can’t go back and to it all again?

Trust

When we trust someone 
we put all of our faith into them, whether we know it or not
we turn to them when there is nowhere else to turn, no one else to trust. 
For you it's a big deal to let them in, let them know what most will never know, to 
expose that hidden side of you, it is like the holy grail of you, a direct key to 
everything that defines you

When they break that trust with betrayal, 
break the Grail to your soul,
melt the key to who you are, 
it's the knife of deception to the back
the slap of stupidity to your face, for not seeing the cracks and brokenness in their 
truth,
You Vow to yourself never again to believe a word that spills from their mouth
Or to open your ears to their toxic advise because all it is a lesson of seeing who is 
fake to who is real, knowing who will be there to back you up, tell the truth, not let 
you fall, and be as true as the sky is blue from the one who is fake and who will let 
you fall till it leaves a thousand scraps and bruises, who will leave your back bare 
and turn you to be as fake as Barbie’s fake boobs.

BUT

we forgive those who don't deserve our trust, but just not trust them again right or 
let them in or call them friend?
