Trust.

Unfortunately, a true story. It's pretty much venting.

 Trust.

I trusted you, you trusted me.

That’s how I thought it went.

I tell you my secrets, ones I’ve never told anyone else,

Believing you’ll keep them as my secrets.

Now, though, I wonder if I ever truly trusted you,

Or if I wanted the world to know my secrets.

Sometimes I don’t understand myself,

But whether or not I trusted you completely,

You thought that I trusted you.

That should’ve been enough for you to keep that trust by keeping my secrets.

 

But now I’ve heard the stories,

Partly made up, partly true, I can still tell where they came from.

And it’s going to break us.

Was that your aim? What you  were attempting to do?

Break us apart?

Did you like ruining the best friendship I’ve ever had?

Or was it purely accidental?

I know it was partly my fault,

And I’m sorry for that part.

But that doesn’t give you the right to spill my closely kept secrets like milk,

Although this is worth crying over.

 

You asked me to open myself up to you,

You wanted to get to know me better, you said.

After refusing to for a year, I warned you.

I told you that if I opened up, you would hate, loathe,  despise, detest me.

You assured me you wouldn’t.

So I opened up to you,

But it was through an argument.

Not the best way, but the only way I know how.

I told you something I didn’t mean to tell you,

Something that hurt you deeply.

 

I later apologized, once I had control of myself again,

But you’ve ignored me since.

And now I’m waiting to talk to you,

Hoping that our friendship isn’t broken forever.

It was the best I’ve ever had,

Full of fun, love, trust and laughter.

And I don’t want it gone.

this is a deep poem that i felt sad while reading it, but in a good way because the poem was well written. I think the description was really good and allowed to feeling to flow freely and easily, if that makes sense. ;) overall, i think this is a great poem. :)
