PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Twisted in a realm of fear
Hiding as the beast draws near
Calling through the darkness “Help!”
Hearing no reply save the echo of my yelp
When all was lost and hope was gone
I found a way-a reason-to hold on

You reached out a helping hand
And pulled me up so I could stand
I thought your kindness had no lack
I didn't see the knife you drove in my back
You were working on it from the start
Driving it towards my beating heart

I opened my soul and let you in
I hid from you nothing, not even the worst of sin
Why not? You were one I could trust
I didn't see the knife when you began to thrust
Into my body your evil knife
With the intent to end my life

I guess you were never on my side
It seems it never mattered how hard I tried
You've taught me I was wrong to trust
You went and crushed me into dust
You took my hopes and all I believed
I though you'd help, but I was deceived

Now you've left me lying on the floor
You've left me closed, hurt, and twisted to my core
Why didn't I see through your lies?
Why didn't I just open up my eyes?
But now I learn as I pay the price
You won't get to fool me twice
