Dear, dear
How harsh reality can be
The Bible told us to place no trust in man
Yet here I am, fresh from another brutal awakening
The signs were there
They always are
Yet I chose to ignore
So I could live in a "moment"
Loyalty can't be bought
And it sure can't be taught
So how could've I avoided
Where shame and reality collided?
Trust is a borrowed concept
The opposite is an insurance plan
Keep your eyes wide open
Before you get backstabbed in the open
Seal the door of your tongue
Before it has you hung
Freeze your fickle heart in an oven
Before the compliments book you a night in a cell
Not all these are your friends
Not all complements have one meaning
Sniff out the performative theatrics
Proceed with caution
Dear, dear
Never trust a soul
