Trustworthy


I am...

 a shoulder to cry on 

Yet a person who'll tell it straight on 

 Come to me 

No reason to worry 

Speak the truth 

And the truth you'll get

Dont be scared 

For I am your diary

Tell it all and nothing is said 

Its true I'm no trixter

It doesn't matter who

Doesnt matter when

You came to me 

To confide in  

That is cherished

I'm only one of many 

yet you came to me

Why ?

It doesn't matter

I am whom you trust

That's how it shall stay

SO I greet you with open arms

 

Trustworthy

How'd it come to this

I say

with a freshly planted seed of betrayal

Trust was not recieved for it was retrieved 

Sacred things were spoken

Sacred things were shared and broken

A key was placed into the wrong hands 

The grave was thought to be its end  

Yet to their friends they wished to share

Brought to shame was when I learned

the cruel beings there are in the world

Yet I was not to become one 

I wished for people to come to me

The secrets shared marked

For my eyes only

 

A beacon to the people 

For those who seek to trust

there I shall be

YOU CAN TRUST ME
