Betrayal Now Once Again

Betrayed by my own kin? Surely her heart was not this unkind. Betrayed thrice before, now once again. She had clearly crossed the integrity line. Her bumbling excuses were coarse, Story-like lies, an unbelievable discourse. A horrifyingly betraying force, Would my broken heart heal ever? I could feel the pieces crying after this endeavor. When could I trust her? Possibly never! My trust-forgiveness had to end for self to win. For my own soul’s sake and peace of mind, Cousins who love each other always, of course But I am leery now, cautious, for my trust has been broken forever.

Gosh, my trust went the first week in day care; it was in a family's home and the woman running it was vicious; it was clear that she hated kids because her own were just like her. All we ever got there was threats and torture. I was so glad when Mom said, she'd found someone to sit with me at home. It's so easy to lose trust and nearly impossible to regain it. Well penned.

Once it is gone, it is never earned back, even if we try to pretend.

Those last two lines perfectly sum it up- you can love forever, but once the trust is gone it is never the same...

It can never be exactly the same; it is the way we protect ourselves after being violated one too many times.

Thank you Tom. It hurts much more when it is a family member or a good friend for sure.
