Why Did I Believe You?
I was there for you.
Every time you needed me
I was there.
I know I overreact.
I know I’m too insecure.
I know my faults.
You said you love me
no matter what.
Why did I believe you?
I believed you were different.
Which is a reoccurring problem I face.
I see the best in people.
I used to see the good in you.
The good that overrode the bad.
Now I see nothing.
You’re not different.
Why did I believe you were?
You’re just another that let me believe
it was actually possible to love me.
That I’m not easy to leave behind.
You said you’d never
do anything to hurt me.
And I believed you.
Why did I believe you?
You promised me the world.
You talked about forever.
Loving me “until my last breath and beyond”
Those were your exact words.
Why did I believe you?
Your words were screaming lies.
Why did I believe you?
