Trust

On our family, loved ones and friends

We only see the good in them all

And hope they’ll catch us when we fall

We blindly put our hearts in their hands

Regardless of where they stand

But sometimes that trust is misplaced

And we end up in a really dark place

Trust is hard to rebuild when it’s broken

Especially when no words are spoken

It leaves our hearts broken and tattered

Making us feel like we never really mattered

But that’s life and not everyone stays

And we still open our hearts every day

Because nobody wants to live life alone

And even if it’ just a voice on the phone

We need someone to talk to and to listen

Because our own minds can feel like prison

It's the people that stay that are an absolute godsend

They truly care and will be there till the end

But still, for all, it would be naive 

To think that even they won't leave

But it's not wrong to trust or open our hearts

Because we never know what it may start?

It could be something beautiful or it could hurt

And it's always wise to stay alert

But then that's life and we often forget

It's better to see what happens, than to not and regret
