(I wrote this to the general tune of Boulevard of Broken Dreams by Green Day. It's the only song of theirs that I like. Try to read it as if it had that tune, because this is supposed to be a song)
Trust is,
Trust is,
Trust is
a fickle friend.
Trust is,
Trust is,
But one tooth,
In a bite to the soul.
When violated,
it only hurts
To give more.
Trust ain't like love,
Like love,
Like love,
It can be wasted, friend.
What if,
You dealt it,
T'someone who don't deserve it, no,
Lost for the worthy then.
Not their fault,
Their fault,
Who's fault,
Your fault.
Just poor judgement.
I've had someone
I once called a friend,
Hurt me deeply,
Made my insides bend.
Someone else,
They had my trust,
Replied and mirrored her,
But only just.
Now every smile
I will lend them,
Has a new
And deeper wisdom.
Knowing, Knowing,
Knowing, Knowing,
Knowing, Knowing,
Knowing what they've done.
Saw something I
Was never meant to see.
Meant for someone else,
and not for me.
Hurt me,
Hurt me,
Hurt me,
And I'm the only one that's sorry.
I never meant to bother you!
Looking at your words,
I felt like all could see
The sign saying 'dunce',
Hanging over me.
And I didn't cry, not even once.
Veil of ignorance is lifting, lifting.
What other hate,
Lies behind smiles of
Good friends, Old friends?
Does hate for me lie within those I love?
How else have I been used?
Through trust,
Through trust,
Through trust,
Through trust.
Through trust,
Through trust,
Through trust,
Through trust.

Whoa! This is truly a great poem. Personally, I tend to like short and sharp sentences, because they get straight to your mind and leave their mark, and here you have many...
"Looking at your words,
I felt like all could see
The sign saying 'dunce',
Hanging over me."
This part is very impressive, sharp, clever and smitten at the same time. Alas, not sure these are the feelings you meant to convey, but they cast reflections up to your readers, and this is very good.

Very nice! I can't think of much else, but I confused myself while thinking to the tune of the song and reading.
What experience did you write this about?
