Dare I Trust You Again

Years I dedicated to making YOU
The image that the world always saw
I taught you what to wear, say and/or do
I even kept you on the right side of the law
Nothing was too much for our tomorrow
No obstacle too hard to climb or bare
I smile through the joys and hid my sorrow
I told myself I had nothing to fear

Tomorrow however is a far way from today
When at two in the morn your phone rings
To talk from my side you have to stray
Whispered conversations pull at my heart strings
Then you come back to bed on tip toes
The phone won't ring again I am sure
Cause as I lay here buried in woes
I saw you turn it off before you closed the door

Forgiveness is not an easy task my dear
You should have thought about me before you act
How many times have I listened to you swear
To be faithful! Yeah take a minute and retract
But to think you did not even think about me
Cause if you did you would realize that in reality
Protection is sold in every corner shop and pharmacy
I would never hear of STDs or that other pregnancy

Dare I trust you again, even for a minute
When you can casually tell her to kill her child
Cause he is not the reason you were in it
Then cast her away as if she was soiled
When will it be my turn to be thrown out the door
Dare I trust your new promise of fidelity
Isn't cheating a disease without a cure
And I am aware AIDS would be my finality

Hi, kle76am,
The poet has captured within each line, and especially in How many times have I listened to you swear To be faithful! ... Dare I trust you again, even for a minute When you can casually tell her to kill her child, that trust is not present, nor is respect. From that point, one can only deceive oneself in order to continue such a toxic relationship. Thanks for sharing.

Shadow when I heard this story I hurt for her. I more than anybody knew what she went through and endured for him. Thanks for reading and taking the time to comment.
