what do you do
when people fail you?
when every single
promise has been broken
do you just lie
there drunken?
in a stupor, attempting
to rid your thoughts
of the stupidity
that had you believing,
trusting, every word
uttered, every line
written
when each door
you knock on remains
firmly closed
do you keep on rapping?
thinking someone on the
other side would someday
be eager to open one portal
a small crack
that might allow you
to breathe

who do you blame
when everything falls apart?
when nothing right comes
your way
do you point at your heart?
for being too weak,
too trusting
for feeling too much
for thinking too little
for giving a damn
for caring, for being too brittle
for bruising too easily
for wanting too eagerly
for failing to remember
that there is no such
thing as forever

i could only
blame me
i never listened
never looked at
the signs
never minded all
the warnings
i was too arrogant
or maybe just too

foolish, to think

that i could put my

faith into someone

too fickle, too undefined

it' s true what they say. . .

play with fire and yeah

you will get burned
