Sorry, you were saying?

I walked in at home
And she told me the fateful tale of the day

Once again her trust had been breached
And she steadily worked on corroding mine
And you ask me why I can’t trust?

I walked in at home one day
And I found her shattered on the floor

As I gathered the pieces and put them together
I wiped her face with my tender hands

My body knew its age
But my mind was way ahead of its time
And you ask me why I can’t trust?

Once I walked in at home
She asked me to chose a side

He sat there mute and a stranger
Like he always had
And you ask me why I can’t trust?

Once I brought it upon myself
Leaving no stone unturned

Once I stood facing the discomfort
Never losing my stead

I was told to not forget my place
After all I was just a child
And you ask me why I can’t trust?

Once I put my faith in a bag
I threw it at each

In hind sight I know it was my bad
But a slight hope, is that such a crime?
And you ask me why I can’t trust?

Once I spread my wings wide
Told myself I could take it in a stride

Once I soared and swore never to look back
Only to find myself soaked in another tide
And you ask me why I can’t trust?

Once I shared my truth
Hoping once again to untie those knots

And everyone was shocked or sneered
She looked at me with a snide
And you ask me why I can’t trust?

He asked me where it hurt
I didn’t want to say

Because finally I wasn’t sure
If it hurt more here or there?
And you ask me why I can’t trust?

I finally broke the shackles
I finally was free

I finally knew what the world was
It wasn’t a reflection of me
And you ask me why I can’t trust?

The world had rules and roles
The world had twists and curls

The world expects many things
And I can give none.
