It's a good poem. Solemn and to the point....very good work. Though, I can't help but wonder....if the subject behind this poem, is someone that we know....and if so, is it the person I have in mind.

Sounds hopeful, that's good. But the funny thing about trust is that it is usually a short-term commodity... you can prove your trustworthiness to others over and over, and they pretend to be your trustworthy ally, just to get something they want. But when they don't get it, big surprise-- they are trustworthy no more. Unfortunately, promises of trust are used by many people as a tool of manipulation. Food for thought

I wish trust weren't a "short term commodity", but you're right, often times it is. I hope that this person I'm talking about can truly find it and keep it, because proving yourself over and over again just wasn't enough.

Thanks for your reply
