Trust, Belief, Trust (A Tale) Poem by Erika Conti

Once Upon A Time
There Was A Girl
Who Used To Believe In Anything
Who Used To Trust Anyone

One Fine Day
She Died
On Cold Grey Stone
Embracing Nothing
But Broken Dreams
Promises
And Memories

She Then Woke Up
Again
No Trust
No God
Not Even Herself
Simply Daily Experience

But The Road Was Short
Before
Belief
And
Trust
Begged For Her Forgiveness
And Asked
To Get Back
Into Her Safe Heart

She Had Everything
To Lose
Lovers
Friends
Her Own Sleep And Mind
And Still
She Realized

That The Only Way
To The Path Of Love
Goes Through
Belief
Goes Through Trust
Goes To Belief
Goes Through Trust
