Distrusting

Cold are those who distrust

They never take a chance on others

Reluctant to believe if they didn’t see it

Doubtful of words that didn’t come from their mouths

Live so bitterly that they can’t imagine anyone not trying to take advantage of them

Always waiting for the dagger to pierce their back

What happened in their past that made them distrust so dearly

Keeping to themselves for fear of trusting

Alone they spend their days

People like them can’t even trust someone enough to get married

Loneliness awaits them, for most a curse

For others they wouldn’t want it any other way

Lost on them is life

This is the life of the brokenhearted

Alone they live it, alone they will leave it
