MISPLACED TRUST
by DKZ

            You once told me that I could trust you
            That you'd always be my friend, in spite of…
            And so with much caution and fear
            I decided to try and believe you
            To, in spite of my doubts, give you a chance.

            You see I really wanted to believe
            That you weren't like others in my life
            That maybe you were different, and
            That you wouldn't use me or cause further strife.

            But more importantly, I also needed to believe that.
            You see, trusting has always been a hard thing
            For me to believe and hope in
            And each time it is broken
            The message gets louder and the pain stronger
            And quickly drives me further within.

            And in your case, the story is once again the same
            And the lesson I've once again learned, and
            Hopefully will never forget is equally clear:
            Never believe anyone when they tell you
            That they want to be your friend, that they truly care
            Never believe that they won't abuse you
            And never believe that trust is unconditionally anywhere.
