they slip through your lips,
smooth as honey.
you say things like,
'I can't live without you',
'You mean the whole world to me',
'I'd do absolutely anything you want me to'
and such.
i let these words wash over me,
then i wonder .
how many other girls have
you said those words to?
just when i decided that i
could trust you,
that horrible little thing
i like to call 'The Past' ,
crept up on me from my behind
and cruelly reminded me of how
badly i got hurt the last time i
decided to trust someone with my heart .
back then,
i felt as if my heart had shattered
into a million tiny pieces .
and those pieces fell into
this big bottomless pit.
i've only dared peek over the edge to try
and spot the miniscule pieces a few times,
to no avail.
i saw nothing but endless darkness,
and one day i mustered up the courage
to dive right into that dark pit,
to recover the remains of my broken heart.
now i'm stuck here,
and only you can save me.
