Trust

You were always someone I could trust

The missing pieces didn't matter much

After everything you put me through

I almost forgot who I was before I met you

Your lies were sweet like summer flowers

and I would listen to them for hours

My gut told me I was wrong

But if I left I didn't leave for long

I told myself that I needed your heart

Even if it kept me in the dark

Better than being alone I thought

But maybe not.. maybe not

You misused the trust I had given

and walked around like you had been forgiven
You were selfish and I was selfless

I deserve better than this

I realized who you made me

and I don't want to be that person anymore

So I´m giving back everything you gave me

I´m leaving your ghost on the floor

Your tears ran down like summer rain

This time my warm embrace never came

You were never were someone I could trust

Those missing pieces separated us

A lifetime of loving and loss lives here in your words. I can only hope you did not face such pain, that this is only sorrowful fiction. I can hope, my friend.

Yeah... it's true, in today's very world, it's hard 2 put ur faith in someone u r in love with cos... even the love's being forbidden by faith - the virtue of 'Trust'. Beautiful, & of course, one of my fav. poetry.

Ps. I've read ur many poetry & every poetry written by u got always thinking over the kernels of reality - the world we all living in... ur poetry has got vry intellectual depths so...

... if u got some time to reply, I'd like 2 knw, wht u inspirations 'bout? What inspires u writing such deep poetrywwith proper beat of rhyme & how much time u take to write or edit a write/poetry?

(Just asking 4 my personal portfolio. If u feel good answering, reply honestly and if not so.. then kindly ignore the question).

Hi Adams :)

Thank you for a lovely review, glad you liked this one, I was kind of unsure about this poem myself to be honest. So good that you liked it.

I don´t mind you answering the questions, no worries. Inspiration for me commonly comes from the radio, if I hear a sentence I like in a song I can write a poem out of that sentence.. also from friends and stories they tell me, or sometimes from just randomly singing to myself until I come up with something worth writing down. I write rhyme because I like it the best, it can be kind of challening at tmes, but I feel like it brings the poems together so well. I sometimes try to write down my thoughts on the world, some poems are inspired by the news and reality and feelings so that might be the depth your talking about. However I didn´t think all were that deep. Usually the ones I write about an event in the news are the deepest. As for the last question, it varies but my average on a poem is between 5-10 minutes. If its a hard one I might use 20 or half an hour. Usually after I have the firsr verse the rest kind of flows easliy and I make a structure out of it in my head. Hope this answers your questions, thanks again for reading :)
