darkness : #thelightyears

have you ever

found yourself in the dark so long

that you stopped looking for the light

your eyes

forced themselves closed

until sight was not option

every heart

that you touched was so fragile

and broken so easily

but you kept saying

that you found them that way

she was crazy

became the slogan for every failed situation

but you

forgot to mention

that she wasnt always like that

her trust issues

were built

into the fabric of your lies

you said

trust me

but never gave her anything to trust

you said

love me

and that she did willingly

you said

if you loved me

you would trust me

but the logic in that

was similar to the logic in your lies

you lied

because you didn't want to break her heart

but your lies

broke her heart

and you

attempted to mend the pieces

by blaming her for not loving you enough

but she love you

as much as you would allow

she loved the you

that you showed her

broken

bitter

and built on the lies that you presented as promise

she loved that you

she loved you in your darkness

and all you had to do

was open your eyes

and see her
standing there in the light
