How can I trust you?

NDOU ROLIVHUWA


Notice of absence from NDOU ROLIVHUWA
Hello, I'm currently residing in a rural area with limited internet access. I rely on my prepaid data plan to stay connected, and I'm running low on data. As a result, I'll be temporarily unavailable until I can replenish my data or access a stable WiFi connection. Thank you for your understanding!

You wear a mask of kindness and grace

But behind my back, you show your true face

Spreading secrets, sharing news

A snake in disguise, with a treacherous Muse

 

You help me out, but everyone knows

Your aid is a ruse, a clever show

You seek to gain, to manipulate and use

Leaving me to wonder, how can I trust you?

 

Your words are sweet, but your heart is cold

A double agent, with a story to be told

I saw the "sss" in your eyes, the snake's reveal

Now I know the truth, and my trust you'll never steal

 

How can I trust you, when deception is your game?

When your loyalty is a fleeting flame?

I'll guard my heart, and keep my distance too

For trust is a luxury, I can't afford to renew.

  • Comment from author about the poem: This poem is a reflection of the pain and betrayal that comes with trusting someone who doesn't deserve it. It's a reminder that trust is a luxury we can't afford to give away freely, and that our intuition is often the best guide. May these words encourage you to prioritize your own emotional safety and well-being, and to never settle for relationships that leave you feeling uncertain or unheard.
