Damaged Trust
By: Wayne Brown
Ten years in the bars
Waiting for the seed to grow
Ten long years in the bars
Spent searching for my trust
Deep in the darkness it cowered
Love brings joy beyond belief
Love brings pain
Love takes your heart
Tosses it into the ocean
Trust is dead
All you have is gone
Your true love, family, money, all
Taken away like a head-on collision
You survive and everything else dies
Dies all around you in one moment
Life changes without your desire
You live but mostly like a zombie
You trust nothing and no one anymore
Your trust was taken from you
In the divorce; in darkness it resides
The years go by, the women come and go
You trust no one; no one
You hide in the shadows; watch from afar
Wanting yet afraid
Needing yet scared
Ten long years pass one by one
Each day a little better but not cured
The world around you is a video tape
Seemingly played over and over every night
Ten long years your life is in limbo
Trust will not come even when you beg
Trust is the mistress you miss the most
A key to your future
And you cannot find it
Ten long years and then one comes
Is she the one?
Only trust can know
And where is trust to be found?
Back in the unsure shadows of yesterday
Ten long years with nothing to show
Trust cannot find its way to the door
A leap of faith is your only way
A leap of faith; no trust, no trust
It’s too far to the other side
Love come riding on friendship
Gentle is its touch
Easy is its way
Love comes to salve the hurt
Love comes to nurture the trust
Trust peers out from the shadows
Heart restored with trust in place
Love in charge
Ten long years wasted in the bars
Love robbed my life
Love restored my trust
Love rebuilt my heart
