Don't Believe
A word they say
Ever
Don't take it
When they promise the world
Because they take it away
Just as easily
And that so much
Hurts so much
When all of that
Means so little now
Nothing at all
To him
To anyone
All those late nights
Frights and tears in the dark
Whimpers crying
I'm trying I'm trying
To make this work
But it doesn't matter now
So don't believe
A word he says
Lies
Will entice you
Entangle you in his arms
Happily with no thought of escape
His embrace tight
Crushing your lungs
But his eyes
They're beautiful and captivating
you stay there
thinking it could never end
But he's suffocating you
His words bring you closer and
Farther from anyone else
He holds you
With a iron grip
Lies
You feel safe
But you are so far from home
Trusting a mind
Trained to seduce
And your falling
And he's the only one
who can catch you
But he lied
And now he's laughing
Not a thought to when
Him and I were a
We
When we were so tangled together
Nothing could separate Us
But it wasn't
It was nothing could save me
Pull me from his grasp
No defiant thought
Slipped into my mind
I was safe
Loved
I had everything I needed
Except freedom
Except choice
Except a voice
Don't believe his words
Not one
They're lies
Intricate ties
Handcuffs made to hold
The strongest and most beautiful
Restraining the innocent
from their dreams
Leaving me
Blood dripping from my seams.
