Trusting the Heart

Something I wrote because I can't seem to trust guys anymore. In the end my heart always gets ripped out.

I can’t seem to find the heart to trust you anymore.
The betrayal and the lies are what have ruined it.
You never took the chance to get to know me.
You were too scared to see who I was.
Here I stood waiting with open arms and you left me hanging.
Instead you turned left while I stood right.
What I had to offer to you was apparently not good enough.
Tears of anger and pain streamed down my face because of you.
The only reason my heart opened up again was because I thought you could handle it.
But I guess I was wrong, you can never seem to trust people to hold the key to your heart.

Trust is so vital to any relationship, and here there is such a painful expression of lost trust and hope. Your words are beautifully shared through the prism of sorrow and anger... I'm so sorry for the pain you've gone through...

I find writing very thoughtful and outstanding. You have a good heart and poetry is what you write so well. I enjoyed this poem to the fullest. Sentimental are the words and that is so nice to see and read.

This was a really dark, really sad poem. The line that really hit me was "You were too scared to see who I was.".

Anyway... Perhaps you just need to wait for the right guy?
