Breadcrumbing: A tale of deceit

How is breadcrumbing okay

When promises are broken each day?

Trust is shattered, hearts torn apart

Leaving only pain and a broken heart

All we want is truth, not games or lies

But breadcrumbs lead us astray, and we can't deny

Each crumb a lesson, teaching us to be strong

To live without you, where love doesn't belong

With every passing day, we heal and grow

Learning to live in harmony, our hearts no longer slow

We find our strength, our fears subside

And we emerge, no longer tied to your side

A Trail of Breadcrumbs, A Path of Pain

I leave a trail of crumbs, a path I've designed

Telling myself it's love, but it's hard to define

I string you along, with promises and lies

Convincing myself it's for your own good, a compromise

I see the hope in your eyes, the love you impart

But I'm too blinded, to see the pain in your heart

I justify my actions, as a means to an end

But deep down, I know, I'm just a friend

I whisper sweet nothings, in your ear so fine

But the words are hollow, and the love's not mine

I'm chasing my own desires, my own needs and fears

Leaving you in the shadows, through all the tears

I say I'm doing this, out of love for you

But the truth is hidden, and I don't know what to do

I'm lost in my own world, my own selfish desires

Causing you so much pain, and setting our love on fire
