You taught me how when you bundled me in your embrace
knowing I arrived a day late sorting out a former entanglement.
No judgement rendered just love bursting from your wide blue grays.

Today without you, betrayal comes, building walls
as high as my boundaries, blocking the jagged,
twisted barbs.  Trust is lost.

Accused of a myriad of falsehoods via pages of texts in lieu
of a face-to-face exchange, I chose to block her out
building walls cutting the ties that bind.  Trust is lost.

You were  my Rock, I flounder trying to gain footing in this world
without you, dodging bullets of pain. Trust is lost.
