Trust in regrowth

Trust was stolen, in a single wave

I lost all hope, every dream I ever made

every moment I'd ever saved

taken in one crashing avalanche of hurt and pain

Trust stolen in the blink of an eye

my life, my past, every tear I'd cried

all taken by that thief in the darkness

walking into the night with my love

left heartless

Trust took flight

flapped its wings

took off into the night

slowly ate away at my self-belief

my hopes and dreams

how could I get close if hurt could pierce my skin?

instead I held back streams

tears

stifled screams

silently, inwardly dying of fear

It was like the whole world wanted me to fall

so, I withdrew

into this castle of thickened walls

I dug myself in, let fear win

under a pile of dead bones

I let myself grow a new skin

created barriers and defences

hid away for long stretches

Little by little as years passed

piles of dust amassed

darkness circled; thunder rumbled

the walls have crumbled,

but some still stand

barriers to protect

or screens that project?

the fears that still taunt

I still hide away

from the ghosts that haunt

Looking inward at this scarred cracked shell

the damage is mine, not yours as well

if I fell into the arms of hell

that was my price, not yours to pay

to learn to walk again, will take more than a day

without expecting the worse

my own private curse

To trust again, is not an easy thing

It will take time to repair this damaged skin

but each day it mends little by little

just be careful with this heart 

it is delicate and brittle

Thanks For Reading.

Peace & Love.

Kyle.
