Misplaced Trust

You said that I could be myself
And you would never walk away
But here I am alone again
I could not convince you to stay

You said that you'd be there for me
But now you are nowhere in sight
When things started to get rocky
You packed your things and then took flight

You said that you would be my wife
But your acceptance was too rash
Your love turned to indifference
And you threw me out like a piece of trash

When I told you how I felt
You said those were feelings you shared
But when it all was said and done
The truth is that you never cared

You never put any faith in me
I guess that should have been a sign
But one of my biggest problems is
I am too trusting by design

If I consider you my friend
Then my trust is automatic
But it's not the same for you
Your feelings for me were erratic

One day you would shower me
With endless kisses and great big hugs
The next day you would break my heart
And sweep the pieces under the rug

I don't know why I couldn't see
Your once-kind heart was turning cold
Looking back in retrospect
The truth is easy to behold

Why did I ignore the pain
That I felt every single day
Why did I not acknowledge it
My thoughts were always dark and grey

They say hindsight is twenty-twenty
But hindsight is no good to me
Foresight was the thing I needed
To stave off all this misery

But now I sit alone and try
To think of mistakes I have made
So that I don't make them again
So that this pain will finally fade

As I examine my mistakes
There's one thing that keeps ringing true
The worst mistake I ever made
Was putting all my trust in you
