trust

 trust is such a simple word

why is it so abused?

for if we could really, truly love

would anyone be used?

but this is a dream of great abounds

that may never come to pass

for as soon as one lets their guard down

we get treated like some ass

and when we try to comprehend

the mess that is clearly seen

we are scorned for being so involved

and questioned why we’re mean

so as the circle goes around

it sure would be nice to know

whether this is worth the ride

or is it time to go?
