Freewriting about pain and betrayal
Don’t make me say it out loud
Because I know
You won’t hear it through the noise.
Read my lips, hear my heartbeat
Across a room full of strangers.
Does it sound familiar?
Do you remember the promises you made?
A mind is a tricky place.
You remember the things you want to.
And conveniently forget the rest.
But I remember-
Every lie you have ever told me.
Every lie I ever believed in
With every inch of my body.
Like a python coils
And squeezes its prey to death,
You drove the life out of me.
How do you live devoid of faith?
Stripped of the ability
To ever trust another human being?
People call me heartbroken
But my friends know better-
There was nothing left to be broken.
Inch by inch,
It decayed beneath my ribs-
One lie at a time.
