False Hope

It hit me out of nowhere, blindsiding me Life was a bet I didn’t even see One day I woke up, someone I didn’t know Pieces of myself scattered, trying to grow Puzzle pieces in a worn-out box Tucked away on a dusty , darkened shelf You kept me waiting You kept me wanting No hands reaching out I’m at the end of my rope You offered me nothing I gave you my everything I fell for your stories, believed your lies All you gave me was false hope I thought you might ask me to ease your pain But your addiction poured down like driving rain Paper-thin lies began to show Razor scars hidden, but everyone knows You said I liked the idea of you I was the giver, you were the seeker too A fire I lit, a flame that burned Cold hearted, leaving only ashes in return I gave you all I had, all I could hold And still you left me out in the cold You kept me waiting You kept me wanting No hands reaching out I’m at the end of my rope You offered me nothing I gave you my everything I fell for your stories, believed your lies All you gave me was false hope You kept me waiting You kept me wanting No hands reaching out I’m at the end of my rope You offered me nothing I gave you my everything I fell for your stories, believed your lies All you gave me was false hope
