You welcomed me with open arms Said you’d protect me from all harm You said we are together in this Treated me like I exist If I knew then what I know now Would I love you anyhow?

You pulled me close and soothed my mind
It will work out fine, no need to hide
But now I question every sign
Is this still the place where stars align?
You spoke of unity and grace
But shadows linger in this place now

You showed me kindness, offered light
Gave me courage, made things right
But now I’m seeing cracks in the seams
What happened to the hopes and dreams?
Said we’d be together side by side
But now I’m left here on my own Questioning why
