Trusting

Trusting you

Is one of the hardest things I have ever done

When the world tried to convince me

Its is wrong

But how can I lie with the feelings of knives in my heart

When I turn against the beautiful words you say

And what is this devil in me

That leads me to disbelieve

You often say to me

I mean more than all the diamonds in the world

To you

That I am the best gift ever

The one who keeps you safe and strong

Still hoping on the tough days there

When it is so very hard to carry on

And the cynics say its all hyperbole

But I can only trust what happens when I

Move into mistrust

My compass is stuffed

And my heart is pierced

And even though what you ask of me

Nearly scares the life from me

When I move through these hurdles and barriers

I feel on the other side such elation

How can it be that pleasure

Is often the price of pain

And it sometimes goes the other way

All I know is this

You make me feel alive again

After so much death

And maybe even despite

All the trouble and strife

Your promise will come true

And will not ever live to regret

Fully trusting you
