Trust

Trust does not come easily to me

But I am beginning to see

Mistrust will never set me free

From my well known prison

Of negativity

Sometimes its hard to believe

The Universe has our back

Old disappointments and harsh experiences

Turn us onto a track

That only leads us further and further

Into darkness

And sometimes we do not even realise

That it is up to us

To find a way to trust

The inherent wisdom in life

Last night I wept so hard

At 1 am

It was then

I think I realised

It was truly time for me to shed

These heavy layers of self protection

They are not setting me free

They are only keeping my heart

All upset and inwardly bound

In chains

And so today

I decided to open my heart and my eyes

To reach a hand towards you

And dry the tears you cried

From my mistrust

I will no longer let this doubt turn to dust

All the love we worked so hard to build

Between us

For in my heart as I feel its beat

It slowly dawns on me

Perhaps we two are

Each other’s salvation

Maybe we were always meant to be

Each other’s best friend

Our sweetest revelation
