Twice a Trap
Rushed to me in pain
and indeed I healed you with grace
You desired to escape everything
and so, with devotion, I offered you my everything
Time raced till I unraveled
my soul and thoughts that I've concealed
You gave me feels that I have continually endeavored to forget
And so again it twinkled
the hope that I sadly possessed
Your hug became my home
I found safety in your words
Slowly you started to fade
into a world similar to your escape
My home was left vacant
that's when I realized
I fell into the trap once again
I was for stability manipulated
For you to walk out and leave
But why might one be so cruel
to one who in each step of the path
gladly waited but in vain
The trap was not once set
Yet blindly I leaped into it again
