trust is a funny thing
while it can take days, weeks, even years to build,
it can all be broken in a matter of seconds
feeling like you’ve been duped
made to believe in empty promises
the rug pulled out from under you
lost faith in humanity
disappointment in others
disappointment in myself
broken

Painful. Broken trust is painful. And to rebuild it take longer than it took to build it in the first place.
I like that you used a poem today! I usually stick to poems, you usually stick to narratives. Today we switched!
I originally tried writing it as a narrative, but it wasn’t working, so I tried a poem.
I like it!
This is a sad, hard lesson. Let the healing begin today.
Thanks Leah!
Sad words. Hope the trust can be rebuilt.
Me, too!
“it can all be broken in a matter of seconds”
Yes, yes it can. And it takes so much longer to rebuild it than it does to shatter it.
so true
“disappointment in myself’ has me wondering…did that happen before, but you trusted again? Did you not trust your first instinct? Do you blame yourself? Such a disappointment, which is an emotion that overwhelms me. I hope you find some peace in this situation soon. Another learning experience.
disappointment in myself for trusting this person to begin with. I knew better.
Trust can be shattered so easily. So sad that someone broke it.
It really can…
Trust is so easily shattered…and it takes so long to rebuild, if ever.
If ever…yeah, I think I’m done with this person at this point.
Your line “lost faith in humanity” really stood out to me- so sad. And yes, it does take a long time to rebuild. Very emotional poem
Yeah, I was pretty upset about it last night. I tried to write about something else, but that’s the only thing that was on my mind. It helped to get it out.
I like that you wrote a poem.
Thanks! 🙂
