You Say You Don'T Trust Me

You say you do not trust me but you love 
me. You say you do not trust yourself 
that's why you stay put like a shelf. Was 
your heart and trust broken to the point 
that you had to put up a wall?? Are you 
truly that scared to give it you're all or do 
you think by trusting me you will tumble 
and fall???You say you do not trust me but 
you love me. You say you do not trust 
yourself that's why you stay put like a 
shelf. You say you do not trust me but 
when I look in to those beautiful brown 
eyes, I despise the ones who caused you 
sorrow. I just want to be the one to give 
you a better tomorrow. You say you do not 
trust me but you love me. You say you do 
not trust yourself that's why you stay put 
like a shelf. At times I do not trust you but 
I also know without trust there's no love. I 
always look beyond and above for I know 
what we have is real and better than a 
three course meal. You say you do not 
trust me but you love me. You say you do 
not trust yourself that's why you stay put 
like a shelf.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
