In a way I did break their trust I guess,
They told me everything, I told nothing.
I knew their secrets, they knew none of mine.
They placed their trust in me, I was never brave enough to give them mine.
They were open and honest, I kept myself quietly drowning.
I was the shoulder they cried on, they were never mine.
I only told enough to have them not question if they knew me.
I was always there for them, I never let them be there for me.
The key I held to the cell I’m in, they couldn’t ever get in, they could never save me from myself.
They trusted me and I hurt them on purpose, better to know that I’m the reason they left like everyone else.
I push and push and push them away, not letting myself get to close, only ever believing that they would leave eventually too.
This is the way I betrayed their trust.
They gave me it,
But I never trusted them back.
