Trust Fall

I’m not sure why

I trusted you

And your poisoned promises

“Don’t worry about falling,

I’ll catch you if you stumble”

But your empty words

Somehow entranced me

And imprisoned my reason

“I promise I’ll be there

With my arms wide open”

So I climbed up high

And let myself drop

As you stood with open arms

“I promise I’ll catch you,

You’ll land safe in my arms”

But I watched as I fell

And as you stepped away

And I watched your arms fall limp

“It seems like you’re falling,

With no one to catch you”

And I fell to Earth

No one there to save me

And you watched me as I fell

“Next time, you won’t fall.

Next time, I’ll catch you”

Battered and broken

You beg for my trust

But I’ll never trust again

“I’m sorry about before,

It won’t happen again”

Yet those empty words

Somehow entrance me

Imprisoning my reason

“Don’t worry about falling,

I’ll catch you if you stumble”
