Writing Prompt

Like a mirror

Broken to pieces

Trust is shattered

All hope ceases

Misplaced trust

Is disappointment

Trust is shattered

No quick ointment

Once so steady

Now unstable

Trust is shattered

It’s a fable

Who we trust

Makes all the difference

Trust is shattered

Only remnants

In the mirror

Broken to pieces

Trust is shattered

My face freezes

Misplaced trust

I’m disappointed

Trust is shattered

Self disj...

It was written out,

Painted in the stained glass,

The story of our upbringing,

The tale of our trust,

How I told you what l’ve hidden,

And you did the same,

Knowing you made me feel colorful,

Not once was there a cloudy day,

Our future was foretold,

Glittering from the sun,

Until it was shattered,

From a hammer in your hands.

What took days is now destroyed,

Hardworking, tired hands,

Now cut by...

You promised that you’d

Hold me,

Cuddle me for hours,

Little did I know,

You were only there

For riches and for powers.

I knew of your past,

I knew it was rough,

I knew about all your

Lies and cons…

_Yet I still_

_Took you in_

_And made you mine…_

I never should’ve

Trusted you,

I should’ve known

You’d never change.

I don’t know what to make

Of the fact

That our love was fake.

A con artist,

...

Trust can be a fickle thing,

But mine is unrelenting.

There will always be some part,

That believes you can be a good person.

I want to believe you are a good person.

But I don’t think I can.

You throw away my faith in you,

Thinking that I’ll always bring it back.

I loathe that you’re right.

But what good person does this?

Forces someone to jump through hoops,

Just to stay in their goo...

‘Trust me’

You said

‘Help me’

You cried

I trusted you

Frankly, I was dumb

I helped you

Shattered trust is the sum

You didn’t trust me

I was in pain

You didn’t help me

You were covered in vain

So take me already

To the sky above

So I don’t have to see your face

I thought what we had was love

Stupid

So young

I didn’t what love was

And I couldnt have fun

Alone, I was

All stuck in myself

Or in my...

The one I had always looked up too.

She held my hand,

Yet always guided me in the wrong direction.

She made me attack the one

Who now I stand strongly beside.

Twisting my perception lie by lie,

She slowly became a carcass.

A reflection of what she had become.

“An attention seeking whore,”

Is what I would say

Yet, despite my sorrow and rage boiling in me

It seems nearly impossible to cuss her out...

I can’t trust myself to talk anymore

People don’t like words

No matter the mouth

From which they spout

I don’t mind not talking

Overthinking is something else

But not talking should be ok

I can keep to myself

I overshare

Way too often

Or try to stand my ground

I have learned not to share

With certain people in my life

It never ends well

But i force myself to bare

Not talking should be eas...

I still recall

Your joyous laugh

The way I looked so shocked

As you saved me from my past

The smoke began to fade

As I took your hand

How could we have known

The tale of how it would end?

You showed me your home

I couldn’t imagine going back

And yet, betrayal runs deep

And my heart starts to crack

Your yells and your screams

Blaming me for not my deed

As she flees in the green

Star clenched in h...

Ever since I can remember,

I’ve been alone, just a dying ember,

Born into a family I wasn’t supposed to be,

I had a father who took his anger out on me,

With fists of fury I was always beaten full of worry,

As they’d rain down on me like a verse unrehearsed,

In the deafening silence my cries l remained unheard,

My siblings that filled me with hate,

Confused my heart filling my life with rage,

At s...

Every day, every night

I sit alone, no one in sight

Lights on, darkness gives me a fright

That's why I left you, to bathe in the light

My window, now shattered glass

You hit it with a tennis ball, heavy mass

Now on the grass

My window is broken from your hard pass

You broke my window

Shattered, I won't forgive though

Trudging through seven feet of snow

Dodging the insults you throw

My trust, yo...
