A Beat Poem

Another slice, another burn, another scar Something else to hurt and heal A broken promise, broken faith, no more trust Something else to steal Why do we do this to ourselves? Why do it to each other? Claim love, carrying, devotion These ruthless, raw less of emotion When are they really felt? It takes years to build trust truly But the second someone goes away We can't live without them, love them so much In relationships, these lies are lethal We say these words so freely and so readily accept Yet so often they break TRUST, FAITH, COMPASSION, HONESTY Betrayal, disloyalty, lies This is what modern relationships are billy upon One side does it, the other accepts Or does not see what us not wanted Keep a blind eye and a happy heart No, I say, do not accept this anymore. Honest, open relationships are needed Built on loving, trusting foundations. Maybe it's just a pipe dream But I will always strive for that dream Or remain emotionless The cold ***** We all know And love
