Be Careful With Hope

You baited me into you I baited myself into me

Dangling the hope of a future Hoping for a future

Tempting with a pie in the sky Tempted by pipe dreams

Luring me with charming odds Duped by possibilities

-------------------------------------- ------------------------------------

Then you trapped me Then I got trapped in

Hopes shattered, heart broken No hope, just pain

You trapped me in this cage An open cage

A cage with no walls

I have betrayed myself

Into thinking I could love myself

Into thinking anyone could love me

I’m trapped in myself

And no one can would let me out
