“Cycles”

Don’t tell me I’m falling again

Letting your lies guide me down

That dark tunnel

Emotions going down a funnel

Funny how you’re never there to

Catch me when I’m done falling

Just promise after promise

With no follow through

Look at how I thought of you

Put so much trust in you

Trust in us, a facade a crush

And now I’m crushed

Forsaken and forgotten

Beautiful fruit turned rotten

So much has touched the surface

Penetrated cell deep

So deep can’t even sleep

Constantly wondering if you’re thinking

Of me, me? Of we?

Could it really never be

Why can’t I clean my eyes and let her see

The truth of this dead tree

Limbs falling

Nothing coming into fruition

Just damage and reminiscing

Yet you’re constantly calling

And it’s because I answer

Forever back door access

You’re like my cancer

No matter how bad I try to get rid of you

There’s always a slim chance I won’t be able to

Need some type of chemo

To get you off my neck

Stop you from coming back

Boundaries

Standards

A barrier, a wall

But you come full attack

Got your shield up but mine has a crack

The splits apart when you say

“I love you”

Tragic love predicated on your lies
