Trust Me

Trust me, trust me, those words are everywhere;

Threatening me to give in like it was more than a dare;

As if your words held any weight;

You say trust me, holding your bait;

Maybe you mean me only the best;

But every weight off my shoulders is only placed on my chest;

Cause over and over I let someone in;

Letting them see the mess under my skin;

Over and over, a thousand chances I give;

Hoping just once I won’t have to forgive;

But every person I give in to has betrayed my trust;

Making me realize why self reliance is a must;

Keep everyone out and you can’t be betrayed;

Sounds good but it’s a two sided blade;

It means no one can hurt me but it means I’m all alone;

No one left to call next time I pick up the phone;

I thought I was protecting myself from your danger;

But in the end all I did was make you a stranger;

I want to be friends now and give you that trust;

But the door to my heart has been left to rust;

I no longer know how to be a good friend;

I guess once you’re hurt you can’t always mend
