How can you trust
how can you ever truly trust anyone again
when your mind is full of memories
of smiling, of loving faces
of joyful tears streaming down cheeks
of words said with so much passion
said with so much pleading
that all led
to nothing
that all led to lies
to faces breathing words
"I love you"
said to you
and said to another
and all a mere breath apart

How can you trust
what anyone says
when so many have said
so much more
and left all the same
