Pondering Trust

Trust is a curious thing

And it's not as abrupt like a ding

Nor is it subtle like a slim ring

Neither is it bold like a dove's sing

They say you need to be ready to be destroyed but that isn't the case

For allowing something to break you but hoping it wouldn't again would hit your face

It's something so fragile and better kept clean

For if you break it behind someone's back, you know what it should mean

It means constantly pondering if they will do it again

You start counting strikes and reading into every little thing

Going this route in the end will destroy both of you

Till you must start again, fresh anew

In order to preserve such trust after such a blow

You must be able to communicate for both of you to show

Without communications, trust will be fractured beyond repair you know

You can't just expect things to get better without confronting, like pavement and snow

Some give away all their trust far too soon

To the point life will make them out a goon

Trust can be the holy grail

Or it can become the tear in the sail

Only give your trust to those who

Are willing to mend it back up while working with you

And put in the effort to be as honest as you do

And work problems out instead of repeating a cycle or two

Trust follows those who

Carry it with communication to prevent it's undo
