trash

you offered a hand-

and i took it

but that hand

was the same one

that threw me away

you opened your

arms

wrapped me

in your loving

embrace

but that same

embrace would

smother

me and

those same arms

pushed me away

from you

you offered me a smile

drew me in

it radiated

warmth and light

but the teeth

inside that smile

ripped apart

every word

i said

and that same

mouth spit

me out

like i didn’t

deserve to

exist

you showed me

your soul

opened up for me

turns out that

isn’t what i

wanted

after

all
