A Soul Paralyzed

Tired eyes from all my cries
I remember getting used to everyone of your lies
I hope in the future I’ll be more wise
You burned me to ashes, but I must rise
No longer my heart will I compromise
I’ll never forget when I saw through your disguise
Left in the dark, I search for brighter skies
You once sung me beautiful lullabies, slowly leading me to my demise
Ignoring every red flag, toxic behaviors i refused to recognize
Even when you did nothing but criticize…
I clung to the past moments when you gave me butterflies
I loved you with my heart and soul
Yet you choose to say your goodbyes…
Leaving me with a pain so extensive, and I’ll never understand why.
