He circles me

in everlasting love

or so he vows

but I feel the noose

from hanging gallows

tightening just before

the floor collapses

the voices strangling

my soul

asking last words

my cry chokes

as life breath

struggles in gasps

his presence’s room

is becoming

infinitely smaller

I’m crushed by

threatening forces

attaching, squeezing

my petrified skin

without releasing

I can live no longer

his shadow looms

rope tightens

around my throat

as I jump

into nothingness

that is hung firmly

around my neck

an expired albatross.

I thought I could Trust him

I thought he could make the right decision on his own

Trust is a scary thing

Never assume just because you Trust

I found out the hard way

A foggy blue seemed to take over his eyes

I knew he couldn’t hear me

He was going to do what he wanted to do

But I Trusted

Trust is a treacherous thing

It is the greatest gift you could give someone

The most fragile

The easiest to take back

Maybe I was wrong

Maybe I should have gone with him

But still, I Trusted

Had I not Trusted,

There would be no betrayal

There would be no tears

There would have been no death

Anger doesn’t care about Trust

Anger caused the betrayal

Anger caused the death, the tears

But without Trust, the anger could have been destroyed

Because of Trust, he killed a man

Because of Trust, the anger took over

All this pain because I Trusted the wrong person

Because I thought that Trust was more important

If Trust is the cause of betrayal,

Which is the greater evil?

I gave you my heart but you left it in the car at her home

With your pants on the ground

My faith falling down

Your hands through her hair

You’re not the answer to my prayers

I thought I gave my heart to the last

But your hearts beating fast

You’re pounding into her

While you know that I hurt

I know what you do

While you’re calling me boo

She was my best friend

Why did this have to end
