Trust and Betrayal

Trust-
It never came easy with me...
but I tried...

With some it brought a happy friendship...
With some it brought bitter betrayal...
Bitter Betrayal is what hurts the most...
especially when the betrayer is one you love

I never trusted easy,
but one man made me want to trust him...
And I did...
With all my heart
With all my soul
With all my body
And he butchered it...

He took it all...
And then turned around
without so much of an apology
And betrayed that trust.

He betrayed the love
He knew I held.
He betrayed the hope
I held for him.
He betrayed my body
that he had held.

I gave him trust...
love...
hope...
my very heart...
And he broke it...
without a thought.

So what am I now?
Without him...
Without trust...
I am a broken heart...
Yearning for someone to trust...
That will not betray...
What I can give.
