You told me I was special
and I was unchained.

For once in my life,
who I was didn't matter,
I was special just the way I was,
even if only to you.

But then I was reminded
why I locked my heart away
to begin with.

You were my whole world,
but I,
I was just another
in a line
stretching to the sun.

And just like that,
I was no longer special,
just like him,
just like her,
just like everyone else
you've ever lied to.

The wounds I had tried
so hard to keep closed
suddenly wouldn't stop gushing
and I felt my life drain away
onto my pillow,
smothered in salt.

Lying about it isn't what cuts
even honeysuckle lies
still taste sweet,
no,
the worst part is

I believed you
