you strapped me in tight
"for my safety"

it's a smooth ride that
brings a smile to my face

until
the metal heats up
and begins to
melt my skin

until
the ride shakes
and begins to
fall apart

until
the seat belts
begin to feel
like chains

it's for my safety
but i can't feel safe
on this ride

i want to get off.

have you ever been betrayed?
it's a silly feeling
it's one where you can't decide
if you're happy you had so many memories with them
or
where you're puzzled,
because you don't know
if those memories were even
genuine
