If Not Truth Then What

If not truth Then what Pretence and distance Simply…..not a lot! Insincerity and dishonesty Echoed through hollow words Spoken Though never truly heard Trust diminished Destroyed by lies Perpetual doubt Relationship demise

Something i constantly struggle with, trust, sometimes its so hard , when trust is broken to gain it back, and its a massive compliment if i trust someone with my secrets or something personal because for me it isnt easy. You always speak for me in such a clear manner. Pleasure reading your work always! Sending you light always

I'd rather be told the truth than be bombarded with BS Deb, something happened to me last Monday and I was appalled by the deception of this person - trust has been totally broken:-( hugs jan xx

A broken trust cannot be repaired with spoken promises. There will always be a niggling of doubt. I've been on both sides of the issue and it's not a nice place to be. Hugs for you, Deb. I wish no such situations for you such as this.

when there are lies involved and deceit, love and relationships don't stand a chance Deb, honesty is everything, deep conversation is too. I always hated small talk that doesn't matter, give me a moment of truth and connection and I'm happy as a lark in heaven. love this, Deb, have a precious day dear heart.

I agree Honesty is everything Rose ….once that wanes in any relationship be it partner, children, friends etc the ship starts to drift further out into the open sea until its out of sight and reach! So lovely to read your comment sweet Rose! Debx
