The pain of love

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.
