Trust
Some dig in this bag of tricks,
To get their point across,
Others sling it on their hips,
Just before it’s tossed...
Tied to gestures never meant,
They make it seem sincere,
But it’s disguised by such intent,
You can’t tell when it’s near...
It could be a secret,
Or something deep you shared,
With one you thought would keep it,
Hidden deep as though they cared...
Many never own the truth,
Yet look you in the eye,
But never speak up when it’s mute,
So you believe that lie...
Time is just the measure,
When it comes to those to trust,
And not left up to leisure,
When it’s those you always must...
