slowly

by khadjahelaine

I realize that I call too many people family

and loved ones when all they’ve done is use me

and show me they couldn’t care less when they don’t need me

Who can I trust

Trust with my heart

Trust with my mind

Trust with my soul

In and out of relationships

Romantic and platonic

Left with only pieces of me

Slowly tryna put them back together

Why you got trust issues

Why you so scared to love

Many stories, many faces

All lies, no love

Pouring out my heart in love

Only to receive hate and shame

Cuz they only cared cuz it was convenient

They only saw me cuz I was in the way

Slowly putting the pieces back together

Slowly learning to trust

Gradually crawling until I learn how to walk again

All I wanna do is run

Run to a place where I’m free and fully loved

No more fake smiles and phony hugs

Get me

See me

Cuz I just want reciprocity

But until then, I’m slowly putting the pieces back together

Slowly
