I trusted you. That's really the gist of it. That's why this won't go away. I let many people into my life Good and bad Strong and weak Tender and cold But I trust so few. Even those who deserve it Even those who prove their loyalty I trust So few. I trusted you. I trusted you. I think my trust must carry venom And poison the people I bestow it on Because you are not cruel. Not you. You are not sudden like the strike of a cobra. You are not cold like ice. Not you.
None of them were. None of them ever were before they were To me.
(Rage more.)
The truth is that I still trust you. The truth is that I laugh when you say something funny to someone else and your face lights up, And smile when you get what you want, And wish you well whenever I look at you. The truth is that I can't help it.
All I am is sad even though I try I try so hard To be angry at you for hurting me. For hurting me and turning away As if that helps anything. For throwing your hands up at the first sign that perhaps When I told you over and over that you had my trust I meant it. And that perhaps You broke it. And that perhaps You might contribute to the storm that is me, well- You've always stood for storms before And let them reach your heart. And you will stand for mine. The day you didn't leave when I gave you your first chance Was the day you chose to influence my heart and soul My self worth My happiness. It is a choice I warn everyone not to make lightly. It is a choice that few understand until they regret having made it. You like the rain, darling? You like The thunder? Rage MORE- There is a hurricane in my blood Every cell Swirling and savage And you You stirred it up You made it scalding sweet- And you of all people You who've seen so very many Should know that there is no halting A storm. No fleeing from it. No reasoning with it, And no Abandoning it. I trusted you. I Trusted You.
