Trust?

You walk around with
red, beaten eyes.
And as the friend I am,
the friend you doubt,
I am here for you
Telling you
not to fear
what I do
what I am.
I'm here for you.
But if
I had to choose one person
to trust
with everything, anything
would it be you?

    Wow, Mar.
    This is really good. It's very powerful. To me, it's about giving your all to someone and realizing that they might not do the same for you or they might not be right for you.
    I can guess at the inspiration for this poem, but I may be wrong.
    Wonderful poem, Mar. You've done it again.

    Thought Provoking

    This piece has layers of both doubt and trust, having a friend to thoroughly trust but that friend doubting you makes your mind fill with doubt was well. There's also a questioning feel to this poem as if it still undecided I liked the effect it creates. Thank you for sharing.

      Thanks. I kind of wrote this when my friend was worrying a lot about something, and to make her feel better I kept telling her it was all right even though I was worrying about the same thing.
      Thanks for reading!
