once we realize
no one is to be trusted.
It is okay to tell yourself
that it's okay.
Trees will still sway
rain wont stop falling
your hair will stick to your back
and your dress will be see through
as long as you don't trust anyone
it will all be okay.
Don't forget to tell yourself,
it will all be okay.
In the shadows of betrayal,
it is best to not allow the knife inside,
with its wriggling motion—
a solemn reminder of being alive,
and that is the whole point
isn't it?
Pain is little reminders
of being alive.
It all becomes a part of the great show
curtains drawn
spot light on
and it's your turn once again
to shine.
So you better do your best
to hold the tears back
when it's her face you pine for
but it's the back of her head
you'll always remember.
