Trust

What is trust to you?
Does it mean anything?
Is it a word or a label?
Does it actually have meaning?
I trust way too easy;
My emotions gain control.
My problem is I give it to those
Who treat it like a joke.
My heart has grown heavy,
My trust is now very thin.
Am I not worth the truth?
Do my words escape with the wind?
Can't you see all my pain?
Do you enjoy me being hurt?
You don't even realize
How much my trust is worth.
I refuse to trust anyone.
This pain I cannot bear.
So I'll lock up my trust,
'Cause obviously no one cares.
