Betrayal
If you hadn’t been standing so close
I might have spotted the knife before it
Slid underneath the skin
Covering my heart.

We make choices every day not knowing the consequences that one decision may make in our lives.
Sometimes fear renders us incapable of taking a step forward—the known is somehow much safer.
What if we open ourselves up and the very opposite of what we hope for happens? What if the people we trust aren’t trustworthy?
You learn from it, and instead of building walls you build a cocoon, soft and silken, and you heal.
And you grow with the knowledge that sometimes people are broken and the decay that grows within them cannot be seen from the outside.
Some would say, you just gotta love them more.
I would say, you just gotta walk away. Listen to your intuition and don’t make excuses justifying someone’s bad behavior. Forge ahead because even the bad things are good things—we grow from the experience.

rotting from the inside out
strands snapped
wires twisted
