PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I've come to see we may not be as good friends as I thought.

I put so much trust in you,

I opend up to you in a way that I've only done with someone I've known all my life.

Yet you've betrayed this trust,

I thought I could count on you,

Count on you to tell me,

Trust you not to do as you've done.

With this betrayal how can I trust anyone else,

How can I allow love to run its course,

How can I open up and get these thing off my mind?

I've even been betrayed by my mother and sister,

Whom both knew what you wouldn't tell me.

There is someone else I've somewhat taken to,

But how in this world can I put my faith in,

Put my heart on the line for the chance of love after what you've done?

How can I honestly think that now,

After how you hurt me, betrayed me,

That she will not do the same?

I once said in one of my poems,

And after what you, my mother, and my sister have done I find it true,

I quote, "... It seems as though when people say they care...That it s but empty words that come form thier mouths..."

I'm now forced to wonder,

Can I trust this new one?

Will she lead me on as you did?

Will she be true to me?

Or will I find myself once again

BETRAYED?
