My Trust

Location

You betrayed me

You broke my trust

I entrusted you with my heart

My life

I never wanted to hurt you

But for you to do this

How could you?

My friend

My advocate

Everything I hold dear

Everything I hold sacred

You shattered

You broke

You tossed across the sea

And allowed it to sink

Sink into the gulfs and throats of those I wanted to keep it from the most

The words of my secrets

Shall never again reach your ears

Because they will only slip off your tongue

I thought it was sealed

I thought it was shut

But apparently it was wide open

Open

And everything danced freely into the open air for all to see

 

I never want to open my eyes

Never to breathe once more

My life had something

My life had secrecy

It had a façade

A shale covering letting everyone know I was alright

Now the secret’s out

I don’t want that

I don’t need that

I could handle it on my own

Just as I am

And have

I can work through this

This didn’t need to happen.

My heart is broken

My life could follow

How could you do this?

My trust

WAS in you
