Those closest to you will always hurt you
They will say pretty words
Pretty words that don't mean a thing to them.
Everything to you.

They will put the biggest smile on your face
And they will smile back
And you will think everything is good.
You are happy.

You will feel safe
And cared for
And hope that one day that care will turn into love.
But you're mistaken.

Mistakes come easy to you
You always make them
You would think by now you would be used to it.
You're not.

You promise yourself you will never trust
Anyone, ever again.
But then another comes along.
There you go again.

You are afraid to trust
To open your heart
But you are also afraid to close it.
Maybe no one will ever find it.

You have to decide if it's worth it
The pain of making the same mistakes
Or the pain of never being happy.
Decision time.
