Your eyes so sincere
Your voice so soft
Your hands so warm
I thought I could trust you
Although I knew I probably shouldn’t
Deep down I knew you were only using me
Just like you had done so many times before
Or so it was rumored
But I trusted that I was right to think you were a better person then everyone said
But I believed myself
I trusted myself when I said you couldn’t do anything like that to me
I was your best friend’s little sister
I would do anything for you I would give anything for you
But yet you shoved your way into my heart
It seemed you entered with a painful dagger in hand
At first it was a piercing happiness
Until you started twisting it around
Then the pain grew and the realization of what you did pounded in my chest
You dropped me like I was nobody
You crushed me into the deepest black hole
I thought as I stared up from the cracks in the rocks above me
At the agonizingly bright moon and the twinkling still stars
I thought I was done for, forever, for good
A shooting star passed overhead one day
I wished for you to love me
But instead I finally patched myself roughly together
I felt as fragile as a porcelain doll
Holding my arms around me I pushed on through the days
Suddenly a new face found his way into my life
I had trusted you so deeply I could give no new trust to the one who really cared
I tried my hardest
It took me the longest time
But then I realized that not everybody can be as heartless as you
Slowly he pushed and prodded into my deepest secrets
He found out about everything it seemed almost
So I escaped my prison
And I let it all out
And this new boy comforted me throughout the nights to come

i really like this poem, maby because i can relate to it i dont know but it really is well written. i always thought that trust ends with betrayal but then realised there are some pretty amazing people in this world that can be trusted. amelia

You did a nice job relating to the trust issues here. I like how you begin with feeling you can never trust another because of one person hurting you, but then show the hope in realizing that maybe some can be trusted, little by little. Great job on this poem, and thanks so much for entering my contest. Blessings, Patty
