Trust

Foundational for life So easily ripped away With enough breaks All trust seems to shatter No more belief No more hope What is the point If no one truly cares? Trust regained Belief in life Hope in the good of mankind The healing warmth of love Safely offered Free to share Free to listen Like a wolf in sheep’s clothing You came from behind You took my assurance away Destroyed that fragilely built Tentative first step toward trusting again You took away from me The very thing that kept My fears and insecurities at bay.
