Trust Assumed Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Shared space
With someone
Who knows what it takes...
To have honesty relayed to give,
And committed!

In a uniting relationship,
Communicating has to exist.
And if resisted questions come...
Someone is hiding something done!
And if this is kept hidden and unclear,
Doubts arise to allow a separation feared.

And this shouldn't keep a togetherness sought...
If from the beginning,
Things are laid out on the table...
Enabling truths to be spoken
Before discovering a trust 'assumed'
Has been broken.
