MISTRUST
Lost boy, wandering soul.
Empty heart threatening to explode.
Wants to be heard yet willing that everything be left unsaid
Unwilling, yet willing.
Willing, yet unwilling.

Wanting to cry, but the tears have been dried up
By burning flames of pains and deadly games.
Fighting hard to gain control
Yet missing to stay in any little glow.

A safe arm and gentle heart then reaches out.
But is waved off as a hidden dagger.
It seems as though it's harmless.
But nature's taught one that nothing is ever is.

Trying to go close but keeping one's distance.
Observing through life's binoculars for hidden agendas.
Though we spot none,
We're still caught in a web of mistrust.
