Nothing

A fear I had

 

There is nothing left before me

But a few broken fragments

Of a life I wanted to live.

Empty promises

And hollow lies.

You swirled me in a not

Causing me to let down the only barrier

You had not crossed

And let you all the way inside.

I feel exposed

I feel undone.

I feel like nothing will be right again.

Un-weaved and undone

I am an open book.

I want to trust you

I want you to trust me

But I feel lied to

Bereft of hope

Of feeling

I just hope

You won’t smash the rest.

I liked this. It's clearly personal, and it's brief, not overdone, just right. You used the wrong "knot" though, in the sixth line. Otherwise, nicely done.
