Hello poetry
It’s been long since we’ve last conversed
I forgot about you
Like a child forgets their favorite toy at the park.

I was distracted by a light.
Cosmic essence of beauty
Golden curls, eyes greener than luck.
And a mouth that said all the right things.

Betrayal comes in many forms these days
While some show their face
Others hide in the insecurities of their prey
They lay high on the chain.

While I lay low.
Soaking up the promises and compliments
Even though I know they are well versed.
I can tell by the way they flow from your lips

I listen. Promising not to believe it
But we both know that’s empty
Just like me when you found me
And pulled me up to the tallest tower.

Little did I know that the hands that pulled me
The hands that held me,
The hands that healed me,
Would be the hands that pushed me to demise.

Silly little girl, you knew what you were.
To him you were an empty water bottle,
That would fill again until he found a new one.
To him, you were something to be used.

But the worst thing about it all,
Is that you let him.
