Trust

Trust. One small word.

So much meaning imbedded within.

So hard to build. So easy to break.



Given away like love.

Expectations of safety.

Now I know the truth.

I gave it away too freely.

Now I hold it closely, in a death grip.

Is anyone worthy of this gift?



Will I ever give again?

Fear controls me.

I don’t want to be hurt.

So, I pass through life without loving or trusting.

Afraid to live.
