Saturday Morning Special

Trusting Trust

by Alex Mobley

trust can be ambitiously attained

never easy to keep maintained

some find it simple to forgive

others never again want to relive

betrayal that runs nearly as deep

as secrets that have begun to seep

out of mouths that hold nothing back

seeing your mind being internally hacked

or maybe deception causes the aching

thinking something but instead faking

the world is full of cheats and liars

people who mislead with their desires

proof of this in their actions

brought out by life's dissatisfaction

that forces us to lose our hope

those to get back on the upward slope

leading away from created imagination

toward the real persons true narration

unless these peoples trust was lost

way back when your two path's crossed

the claims were made with such conviction

that never was there a contradiction

to second guess their one strong vow

thinking forever but ending now

the trust was built from many years

wasted sharing our loves and fears

forgiveness may not happen quick

but hatred shouldn't ever stick

with those who shared lots of fun

before the trust had come undone
