Trust

Why does it seem like trust can be so scary and unsure,
and when it's broken by someone, it's hard to find a cure;
sometimes we do not see that we often played a role,
but still the pain is deep enough, a gem that has been stole;
finding another is not easy, this truth is plainly known,
but we must take control inside, and make some trust our own;
we cannot know the other's heart until we let them in,
and if they hurt us once again, it's not ours but their sin.

[Written after a friend complained about losing trust in others.]
