I trusted you with the parts I buried from everyone.
I gave you my softness, believing you would hold it.
I showed you wounds I never let anyone see.
I gave you every piece of love I had left.
You took my trust and treated it like it meant nothing.
You turned my vulnerability into something you could use.
You reached into the places I was already hurting.
Then left me wondering why I ever let you close.
Your final words shattered something I can’t put back.
They drove me into a darkness I thought I’d escaped.
I hurt myself trying to silence what you left behind.
I bled through nights that felt impossible to survive.
You didn’t just break my heart—you taught it to be afraid.
Now I question every hand that reaches for mine.
I flinch from love because I know what it can become.
You made the place I called home feel fucking unsafe.
And the cruelest part is that all I ever wanted was love.
Now I have it—and I’m terrified to believe it won’t destroy me.

A lack of trust voiced in this write of betrayal
this is just so good and powering and should be heard
To be loved back is meant to be the normal standard. Hope it gets better 🙏🏻🕊️
