Trust fades

The birds still sing like nothing died

While something rots away inside

They cross the sky so wild so free

While doubt keeps sinking teeth in me

I envy how they trust the air

To hold their wings and keep them there

I trusted once with open hands

Now every promise feels like sand

I loved without a place to hide

Let hope come crawling back inside

I chose a road I thought was true

And built my fucking world on you

But lies leave fingerprints behind

They stain the heart infect the mind

And even truth begins to sound

Like something waiting to break down

Now every silence has a name

Every difference feeds the flame

Every little change I see

Becomes another threat to me

I hate the person doubt creates

The one who questions loves and waits

For something awful to appear

Because trusting you now tastes like fear

And still I love

That’s what destroys

The quiet underneath the noise

Because walking out would tear me through

But staying means believing you

So I watch the birds escape the night

Tiny ghosts against dying light

No past demanding they return

No trust to break no lies to learn

Maybe freedom isn’t flight

Maybe it’s sleeping through the night

Without wondering what you’ll find

When love leaves certainty behind.
