Bruises and letters

With a broken heart thats swollen
from the fear thats left inside
and letting memories cut through it,
while you sat and watched me drown.

You ruined your devotion
as you added to the bruising
of this heart that would have
never let you down.

It kills me to pretend
we're not coming to an end,
while i sit here feeling caged
trying to escape this pain.

Not being able to break the wall,
made of bruises from your words and
torn up letters you had written.
and trying not to fall
for lies about how you love and i can trust.

Just to turn around and find
that i was always blind
because i never saw that
its a mistake to stay.

Let me break this wall,
let the darkness fade away,
trade the bruising for freedom,
let me finally drift away.

(Some people are bruised emotionally, like i have been in relationships, its only by being hurt and lied to that bruises your emotions, making it tough to ever believe or trust. But one day for everyone we find a way to get around the situation and make it better. Thank you for reading. )
