I trust you
I believe your words
You listen
You understand me
I open up
I give you all of me
You whisper
But you keep some things
Locked inside
And I am desperate
For the key
I want your secrets
Every one
‘Share yourself’ I ask
But you cannot
Because something is missing
The truth

Oh, that pesky thing called The Truth. Gets in the way of the fantasy sometimes. 🙂

Unless, of course, you don’t realize you don’t have the truth… so you go on, not realizing that someone’s lying to you….

That’s the worst…once you realize they were. And, it always comes out in the end. Damn, I hated that feeling, when is realized I’d been played. Feel like a fucking fool, and it would hurt if I weren’t so pissed off. Hopefully, I don’t have to feel that again, at least where matters of my heart are concerned. Wish nobody ever had to.

Yes… when you find out and feel like a fool. It’s the worst feeling. Not just with love, either. I’ve experienced this with “friends” more often than I care to admit. I guess I’m too trusting sometimes. I assume people are generally honest… And it sucks when you find out that’s not true.

I like to claim I’m jaded enough and old enough to know better. But, I still ascribe to the theory that I will trust until given a reason not to. My skin is thicker now with life and experience, but still thin enough to tear. I am much quicker with a “Fuck off!” now though, and that certainly helps. 🙂

Haha… that does help! I just hate having regrets… having shared too much of myself only to find out I shouldn’t have trusted that person in the first place! Because, of course, you can’t take it back! But I can say fuck off, right? 🙂

Oh, absolutely! A ripe and properly placed “Fuck off!” is one of life’s little pleasures. Can’t control others’ assholeishness, but can control how we let it affect us. Say it with me now: FUCK OFF! See, doesn’t that feel fantastic? 😃

Oh the truth… we want it, or at least we think we do. Trouble is we want the truth to conform to our wishes not to reality. Happens all the time. Sigh…

Well, sure, we want the truth to match what we wish. And it sucks when it doesn’t… But I’d still rather have the truth even if it’s not what I want. It’s so much better in the end to know what’s real… instead living life believing lies, making decisions based on them. It’s happened to me… It’s made me a bit paranoid at times… Yet I’m still too trusting! I guess I try not to assume the worst in people, but damn, it sucks when I’m wrong and I shouldn’t have trusted…!

I’m the same way… you get burned some of the time by being too trusting. But I’d still rather believe the best in people.

I always want the truth even if it hurts. And I think I’m too trusting too. But, I don’t think I like the alternative. Lovely poem! 😊

Thank you! ☺ Yeah… I’d hate to become so cynical (or paranoid?) that I trust no one and nothing… not the best way to go through life…

Yeah, it sucks when things aren’t as they seem, when we put our trust in people and they let us down. But I still wouldn’t lock myself up to trusting, life’s just too short not to believe the best in people.

It’s true… trusting no one is not the way to go… just have to hope we’re lucky enough to meet good people.
