TRUST

Healing Trust

Trust

 

This is the story of many a friend.

The ones we would love to defend

against all the hurt and pain.

To make them feel alive again.

 

It is with great tenderness

that I bring you this.

So here I will unveil;

The truth of her tale.....

 

 

What a little B***h!

You tore out her stitch.

She was just getting better,

and now you made it fester.

 

Who do you think you are?

Opening up her healing scar.

Go away and disappear.

You are not welcome here!

 

But as fate had it she stuck.

Like a feather on a duck.

She swept him of his feet,

and he ended up a cheat.

 

What a  little B*****d!

He thought he had her mastered.

Yet she's the one leaving now.

So she made this vow ............

 

No longer shall I trust,

for it all comes down to lust.

Never  in love, will I believe.

Again, I shall not be deceived.

 

A wondrous blessing!

I discovered the ultimate dressing.

As I am no longer bound,

because it is me I have found.

 

The love in my life.

The one who is wife.

To myself as I groan,

Under the sheets I moan.

Well then it came to be

that she met a man, you see

one that is her lover.

He declares it is forever.

 

I have watched him closely.

His behavior is gentle and homely.

From my careful view

it seems his devotion is true.

 

Dare she say her doubt;

Here, now, out aloud:

That love is but a whim.

Filling us to the brim.

 

It can take anything,

to cause a little fling.

The eyes or the hips,

a kiss from another's lips.

 

Once trust is broken,

all is but a token.

Living only for now.

Never taking loves vow....

My wish for her is this:

That life will be full of bliss,

and that she will find

trust again in man kind.

It's emotional and you have presented it very strongly and just the way it deserves to be presented... Love is like a butterfly, we can hold it too tightly or too gently, when one of this happens, and the balance destroyes, along with the breaking of trust, that's when love really hurts... You have brilliantly showed the truth about trust in love and life... The ending was so heartwarming and I pray that your frnd finds healing in her life El... God bless her... Many congratulations to your daughter, such a lovely work...

Sincerely
Dhiman

Very interesting journey you've taken us on, as we read thru different points of view, all along revealing the tug-of-war of trust. Very relatable, a common occurrence stated in an original way . . . not that the betrayal needs to be about physical attraction (even tho it often is) . . . but just showing us how hard it is to trust again, after a heart-wrenching betrayal. The photo is exquisite & amazing -- looks like a painting!

Wow! This is all-around amazing. First of all, I must complement your daughter on her photography skills - very impressive! And the poem itself is spectacular. I like the use of different fonts to portray different voices. It's a lovely representation of how many different people are being drawn into this experience, and how their interactions can lead to both pain and healing. The language itself is vivid and sometimes very strong (such as in the third stanza), but not in a way that seems crude or vulgar. It places emphasis on the emotion contained in these stanzas to better express the pain of this situation. There are so many different feelings wrapped up into this poem. My favorite stanza by far is the final one. It is gentle and loving, a beautiful summary of the theme of the entire piece: the hope that someone can find the ability to trust again after suffering a broken heart. Overall, this is a profound, very well-written piece. Know that I am praying for your friend. Excellent work!

Ah Alicia you write such lovely comprehensive reviews. Thank you once again for your visit. So appreciated. My daughter is a fantastic photographer; at age 9 she won her first competition and astounds us with her ability and that is with a pretty shoddy camera. I will let her know you love her photo.
