The Woes of Trust

An angel formed from lake of purity,a gift to mankind-illuminating darkest parts of hearts. A chaste damsel, untouched rose from the garden of the elves. Sent to earth,made an abode in a gentleman's heart,whom she cherished and loved. As time travelled,another fella whom she trusted lured her to un-saintly act Her pride laid on altar of dishonor and infidelity. Her life she almost snuffed,she feared the love of her true love would be lost. Alas! bond of love is indivisible. Shattered,with a broken spirit she tries to mend the pieces....on the shoulder of her lover she leans,hoping to soothe her bruised heart. Note: A true story,a close pretty lady friend of mine was raped by her family friend yesterday...who called her and told her his mum was very sick. She called me and confided in me . Don't know whether to encourage her to call the police.

Dear I Bob E - I personally would encourage her to call the police because the man may commit the same act again, either with her or someone else. It's up to her, though. At the very least, this "friend" should no longer be considered a friend by the family.

It is such a shame that we don't know who we can trust these days. Sometimes, even our best friends can become our enemies. Your friend is in a tough situation, but no one should ever have to feel abused. You should encourage her to find help, and I hope that she is doing well...This was a difficult subject to write about, good work!...Thank you very much for the great comments!
