Unbreak Me

Source: WeHeart It

I never expected you to be

the one to come along and

unbreak me

I was far too damaged

 

I wanted from you nothing

more than friendship,

loyalty, trust

And…

No further damage

 

It took me months to trust you

with my damaged psyche and soul

It took you five seconds and one

hurtful word to destroy

friendship…

loyalty…

trust…

And to break my cracked

fragile pieces that were

yet unbroken

The pieces I held most

precious

Five seconds to lose all

I had gained after years

of partial healing

Five seconds for me to

lose trust in everyone

and realize I would never

be anything but

Broken…

Countless

 

There are countless

times in my life where

I thought I could depend

on someone

Trust them completely

with anything and everything

 

Silly me …

One day I will learn that no one

is as they seem

No one is truthful …

No one can be trusted …

 

The only one I can depend on

at all times …

in all situations …

is me

Always Open …

My downfall …

Or is it …

Always Open …

Open to new people…

Ideas…

Opportunities…

Too trusting of these

Always thinking

the best of others

the best of opportunities

Yet …

My open trust has led to

pain …

heartache…

and being taken

advantage of by  those

who prey on the

trust of people like me

What Breaks Us …

Source: Unknown

What Breaks Us …

I have been broken so often

in my life that there is

nothing left to break

 

What breaks a person?

Lack of trust?

No loyalty?

Love gone wrong?

All of these …

Yet…

What broke me every

single time was a

broken promise…

and the memories that

person created in my life

 

The broken promise creates

the crack in my soul and the

residual memories finalize

the break …

the broken heart…

the shattered soul…

the lack of trust…

 

I no longer trust anyone

That is my only protection

I believe no one because

words are empty promises

unless actions back them up

 

So…

If I believe and trust no one

I will no longer be disappointed …

Broken …

The safety feature for my soul …

The above is for Writing Outside the Lines – Prompt 16 …

I am struggling with an issue of loyalty right now … Look at the quote … Answer these — does it really still exist … Yes … No … Why … How do you know … Use the above for the prompt this week.

When did it leave…

When did loyalty get to be

nothing more than a word…

Forgotten meaning…

Lost trust…

Something I give

Yet…

Never get in return…

If I Let You In …

Look at the picture. Use the picture alone, the quote alone or the two together for your response to this prompt. You decide!

Writing Outside the Lines … Prompt 14

I am unsure …

Time is not

on my side

I stand outside

waiting for

something…

anything…

But …

The past has

not been kind

 

My life…

My heart…

My soul…

My everything…

Is fragile

 

I cannot go

through more

hurt…

pain…

disappointment…

 

I want to trust again

But …

I cannot

 

If I let you in

there are no

guarantees things

will not turn out

the same

No guarantees

I will not be

broken again

There are so few

pieces of me left

intact …

I just cannot

open that door …

Trust … Broken

Once trust is gone

Broken …

It can never be

Repaired

 

Whether friend …

family …

OR

lover …

Broken Trust

is just that

Broken

Her Confession – Day 13 April PAD

Her Confession

She had been down

that road before and

from the beginning

this time kept

telling herself,..

“This will not end well.”

And…

She was right

yet again…

Promises broken…

Trust gone…

Soul destroyed…

Heart – what was left

of it – ripped to shreds

He seemed different…

At first —

A gentleman…

Well educated…

Excellent conversationalist…

Shared interests…

Six months apart in age…

Caring — or so he said…

But…

In reality

Totally self-centered…

Insincere…

With an ego that

just could not stay

out of the way…

So…

She was right…

IT

NOT

DID

END

WELL …

Day 13 of April’s Poem of the Day Challenge – prompt – write a confession poem.

Both Sides – Day 7 April PAD

Both Sides

She believed in love

But…

Didn’t think love

believed in her

 

Striking out more

times than not

Her heart was in

too many pieces

to repair

 

Yet…

 

She wanted love

in her life

 

But…

 

No longer trusted

anyone enough to

go there again…
