‘Trust! ’ they exclaim.
‘Trust before anything
Trust before life…
Trust before love.’
I apologize
But I do not trust
I wait, I watch
I hide in the shadows
With them who have known me.
‘Danger! ’ I scream.
Like the beauty of an iceberg
A soul waiting to kill
With so much more
Beneath its surface.
Sirens sound in my ears
Each time an outsider appears
I cannot trust aliens.
I must veil my secrets.
‘Hope! ’ he calls.
‘Hope to you and to me!
I am not a stranger
I am a friend’.
But he illuminates my wariness
‘Forgive my doubt! ’ I yell
For I cannot trust.
Danger reigns over hope
A king over a jewelled globe.
‘Desire! ’ your words shout
Like heart shaped arrows
Shot slightly to the left,
Missing my striped heart.
It’s covered in icy snow,
Bleeding in someone else’s arms.
‘Let me go! ’ I plea.
‘I can’t light two realms
With one spell’
‘Let me be a stranger! ’ I cry
‘Let me be a mystery
Let me be His
And His only.’
