Trusted

I hear your empty promises,
I let them pass,
I know that they were meant, but not to be.

I keep my hopes low,
He yet not knows, he thinks he’s got me,
No one has me, not yet.

My shallow purpose is known,
I know my use, my only use.
I am for you.

I hear you say it back,
Though I do not listen, I know you
Your words are like you,
Empty,
Shallow,
A lie.

My cage, the one I’ve been placed in,
I knew it was happening, I did not struggle,
I allowed it.

Friends?
The word, familiar, but you had taken it.
I’ve let you break me, spend me.

You’ll never break me.
I’m not ready to break, I have no hopes,
Nothing to break,
But you.

You’ve kissed me,
But it was for you, as everything is,
Did you once ask me if I wanted this?
If I wanted you?

I would run, but I nothing to run to,
All the ones I once trusted you’ve corrupted,
They were told,
I can’t be trusted.

I’ve finally met him,
Who, you may ask,
The one to take me away,
From you.
This is not goodbye,
This is your death.
