why do we run and hide
from the ones that make us smile
the ones we have the best memories with
the ones who promise to be there
and to always
love you
because those things are fake
and we notice too late
those memories were made to make you come running back
that promise to be there was broken
and when they say
they will always
love you
they take the words back when someone new comes along
when someone who looks nice
but isn't on the inside
but why would they care
they aren't nice inside either
they let the darkness cover up what could have been a good person
but the thing about it is
someone else put that darkness there
put the shadows
and the murky puddles of unknown substances
once you see what they actually look like
you either
hide
or
try
you hide from the darkness afraid it will overwhelm you too
and that you will spread this disease
of hatred
and pain
or
you try to bring in light
you try to clean every nook and cranny
taking the risk of getting overwhelmed
thinking that what you are doing is love
but its just the darkness already controlling you
you lost before you even tried
that's just the sorrows of
fake love
