Trust

When the sun returned home 
And hanged it's body in the sky 
And dropped its warmth , 
It found me with no trust
Trust you dry up my strength 
Then move me to trust no soul 
You give false and fake happiness 
That will fade away before l find it 
That will perish before l catch it 
In the name of Trust, promise got lost 
I am scrambled and threatened by trust 
You have identified me amongst thousands
Convinced me to trust you 
Only to prove you cant be trusted 
Did you not know that l was gonna get hurt?
Next time if you want me to trust you 
Hold on. I don't do trust anymore
Or better yet l will act to avoid you 
I hide my pain and shield my heart 
Where are those l trusted?
Somewhere on this green planet 
I am all alone 
Wishing l should have never trusted you
