TRUST

My hot tears fall like summer rain upon my weary cheeks

But they can’t wash away the pain no matter how I weep.

This pain you put within my heart when you betrayed my trust

Has slowly ripped my soul apart and turned my dreams to dust.

My dream was of a happy life in a home of love and care;

A trusted and a trusting wife, but your love wasn’t there.

You cheated, lied, betrayed me and told me by your deeds

That I am not the one you want to fill your daily needs.

Rejection I am used to, I’ve known all through my life

That no-one really wants me, but you made me your wife.

You led me to believe our lives would be so good

But then you broke my heart; I didn’t think you would.

For you, above all people, I trusted with my heart.

I have loved you all my life. I thought we’d never part,

But you, who were my idol, displayed your feet of clay

And filled my heart with numbing pain at what I heard that day.

You took my place within your life and gave it all away

And now you want to give it back, and now you always say

You love me and you need me – but how can I believe?

I always thought you loved me but you cheated and deceived.

The kind of love you offer, I really must decline,

But if you offer friendship, in turn I’ll offer mine.

As friends we started out in life and then we went from there,

So maybe if we try again, a friendship we might share.

The tears will dry upon my cheeks; the pain will go away -

But no way in hell there’ll ever be another wedding day!
