You asked me to trust you
And you expected a reply
I saw it in your eye.
But I hesitated.
You grew worried,
Unsure of yourself.
So I pointed to the shelf
Where all the pictures stood.
I knew that you finally understood
As realization dawned upon your face.
So I told you a story to erase
All of the tension that had built.
You asked me to trust you
And you expected a reply
I saw it in your eye.
But I hesitated.
You asked me questions
As I told my tale.
But all I did was flail
As I tried to explain.
I revealed that I couldn’t trust
Not when friend after friend
Brought an end
To every relationship.
You asked me to trust you
And you expected a reply
I saw it in your eye.
But I hesitated.
They broke me
In ways you can’t imagine
As they left my heart and soul all barren.
I don’t know how to trust.
I want to trust you
But after end and end
You must comprehend
That I don’t know how.
You asked me to trust you
And you expected a reply
I saw it in your eye.
But I hesitated.
