False Hopes
How could this have happened
I gave you everything
I opened myself up
Despite my fear of being exposed
Couldn't you see how scared I was
I was terrified to let anyone in
Because it always ended in pain
They eventually left
Or I drove them away
Myabe I shouldn't have jumped in so quick
But once I thought
You would stay
I became hopeful
My smile came back
I laughed until I cried
I felt alive when you were by my side
When you grasped my hand
I felt like you kept me above ground
You kept me from sinking
Into my own thoughts
You kept the demons away
You burned brightly
Searing your name into my bones
Kissing false hopes
All over my body
Burning holes into my skin
Your words were like acid
When I realized they weren't real
I believed your hand was the one thing
Keeping me above the surface
When really,
It was pulling me under
Your burned me to a crisp
Leaving me lying at your feet
Sinking deep into the ground
I reacher for you
But you smiled and claimed
It was "trust issues"
I gasped for air
As the floor was closing over me
The last thing I saw
Was the blank stare on your face
Slipping deeper
The floor closing above me
I realized
How hope
Can slowly
But surely
Kill you
