My Feelings Fluctuate

My heart is in limbo,
a soulful place
somewhere between heaven and hell.
You say you love me;
but it's difficult for me to tell
if you're being genuine,
or merely toying with my heart.
I feel I'm in a revolving door
and going nowhere,
for I've been trapped there before.
You've learned to bend the truth 
until it fits your lies like a glove,
and they become indistinguishable.
Conflicted by hope and doubt,
I don't know what to do.
I want to believe every word you say,
but you've played this game before.
One moment, I'm in ecstasy,
savoring the sweetness of your kiss,
and the next, all I taste
are the bitter dregs of rejection.
How much can my heart endure?
My feelings fluctuate 
between love, anger, and hurt,
leaving me in such pain I cry.
How can I ever feel sure
that what you offer is love,
and not an illusion
created by trust?
