Oh, Darling

by @miathompson

Don’t speak Don’t let them see what you can really be Don’t let them hear you It’s okay to be a ghost Maybe then they’ll start to fear you Only allow those who are close To actually get to know you Trust has been over rated Those who have it have no clue And those who don’t start to hate it And those you had trust in Start to take advantage of the bliss And start to break you within Until they finally realize you’ve had enough of it They’ll never stop pretending to be your friend So it’s nice to lock the doors for a bit To see who’s really breaking in And who you just let stay And take advantage of the space kick them out and Then look around This Is your house And you’ve been letting everyone tear it down You can’t blame anyone but yourself Because no one was ever breaking in They just bribed you so they could stay Saying they’d be your friend Yet you were so self less you forgot None of these people even care for you They never even payed rent And you think they are worth trust from you? You’re not making sense Tear these walls down They need new paint I can feel that you’re scared I can see it on your face It’s a little late To go on and hide in this place But It’s not you You’re way much more beautiful than this Get a glimpse You can’t keep putting up with this Darling take a look around you’re living in half a house Figure it out You have to start loving yourself now This house was your heart and it’s falling down Look at me in both my eyes Tell me any of those fools were worth the lies Do you recognize that? The feeling of loss It’s haunts you doesn’t it? Sorry to say it, but darling that was all your fault Learn how to love your self, and stop being selfless In the end when you’re six feet under It’s only going to be you down there No one is going to hold your hand The only person you know will care And take you up by the hand Is God
