Listen right now
and you better look me in the face
You were created for more
than to die in this place

I have a tendency to find good people with bad intentions
Those that I believe to have a good heart but use others to their advantage  
Those that don’t think before they act
Those that say things they don’t actually feel
They exaggerate meanings of words and phrases that give me life
They take advantage of the love I so freely give
They leave once they’ve gotten you hooked - like a fish who was too naive to ignore the bait
They don’t mean to hurt you
They don’t realize that their actions will eventually break you
They apologize but the pain never goes away
Our fragile hearts break with every false word we realize they told us
The lies they fed to our hungry hearts
The things they did behind our backs
We break as they move along
We feel everything as they feel nothing
Good people with bad intentions are good pretenders
Their eyes light up when they’re around you
Their smiles spread from one ear to the other
Their words bring joy to your longing heart
But after awhile they become distant
They let the phone ring and complain of exhaustion
They rarely reply to your unending messages
The spark flitters away and their smile turns into a grimace
They drag you along until you’re fully dependent on their love
They leave you stranded with a used heart and broken soul
I keep telling myself these are good people who have bad intentions
But maybe these are just bad people
Maybe I still haven’t made myself believe that these people who intentionally hurt me aren’t good
They may seem good on the outside but they play a very believable game
One where you are the pawn and they push you whichever way they please
And they do so because you are a good person who has good intentions
You are rare as they come
Not many are good and not many have good intentions
Protect what you have and never let bad people with bad intentions rip away your goodness
You’ll find others like yourself, eventually
