too often, we fall in love with our eyes shut.
we trick ourselves into thinking it's genuine, but
really, what is there to gain?
from the way he claims
he'll promise to stay loyal,
to her vow that she'll always be honest;
honestly?
it makes me sick
to my stomach that we always pick
people who treat us like we're nothing,
and pretend to be okay with that.
that
isn't love.
we deserve to be cared for
instead of being forced to watch our other half walk out the door
without them so much as saying goodbye.
we try
to take better care of ourselves, we really do,
but if they said they loved me, surely it must be true?
darling, if you would just open your eyes, you'd see
behind the lies and duplicity.
promises can break, but don't forget you can too -
remember which one is more fragile.
