Because Of You....

How can I trust you

When I no longer trust me

Knowing if given the opportunity

From you I would flee

Countless times deceived

By the utterance in the lies you breathe

Into existence

You cheated numerous times

Yet in your mind I owe you commitment

Wondering why I’m so distant

Disgusted by your touch

The same arms that encircle me

Moments before were embraced

Around that slut

At least that’s what she is to me

How can a woman knowingly

Be used for her body

Mentally be free?

Or is that the picture

You painted for me to see

Hanging on to your lies

To put my mind at ease

As my heart internally bleeds

From pain

By me

You never

Had to receive



By being faithful

In the end I came to see

It all amounted

TO NOTHING

Because of you

NO ONE

Should ever

TRUST ME  

Author's Notes/Comments: 

After years of unknowing deceit a  person can very well WANT to become exactly what hurt them to avoid ever feeling pain again.
