Poem

To Trust Again

by Jaclyn

To trust is difficult

To love is painful

To believe is to cult

To hurt is regretful

How much it hurts when one betrays

How much it means when one believes

How sad it feels to live in dull days

How painful to live with disrupts beliefs

Only if I knew whom to trust and whom to beware

Hurt would never even exist in my vocabulary

Only if I knew that at all times I must be aware

Or else love and friendship would be my adversary

I truly want to trust again

I want to trust without doubts

I need to know I won’t be slain

When promises are broken and makes doubts

Just once I wish I could believe

The words you said were real to be

All the jokes you had up your sleeve

Then I knew seeing wasn’t to see

One white lie grows large and big

Destroying all, making all feel betrayed

At times I just want to live and take a swig

Pushing away thoughts that had been swayed

I truly want to trust again

To trust again without any bounds

To live life not tainted with pain

Smiling at memories through old towns
