Trust Poem by Danielle Deery

I wish that you could trust me.
I don’t get why you don’t.
Maybe one day you’ll wake to see
That it’s probably because you won’t.

I love you more than anything
I just can’t feel this pain inside
I don’t want to feel this burning sting
I have to keep some pride

If you want to part, then fine, let’s go...
But right this second, you need to know.

Whatever pain you’re feeling now
Can it be a pain at all?
I just remember thinking; “wow”
When I realised you’d made me fall.

I thought you said you loved me
But that obviously wasn’t true.
I honestly believed, you see?
What else was I supposed to do?

The hurt that I have been through
And the tenderness I’ve felt inside
Has never been easy to speak about
And even harder to hide.

I guess I thought you’d trust me
At least now I know you don’t
But going right back to before
Is it just because you won’t?
