Trust

Trust


Betrayed…
an uncovered
snare made manifest by your
continual emotionless,
reprehensible acts.

Lacking…
beyond this sphere
of consciousness, with untold
insensitivity extol
your virtueless misdeeds.

Delude…
a beguiling
misrepresentation of
truth, deceitful offense portends
misleading double-cross.

Malign…
baleful slander
which denigrates and reviles
our character without due shame,
settled upon your neck.

Confide…
faithful belief,
credible satisfaction
that the confidence we must keep
relies solely on Trust.
