Throughout ones life, there are many people we are supposed to trust. When that trust is broken, life becomes different, difficult, damaged.
Today, trust has been broken. I know I shouldn't put people up on pedestals - that is a fault of mine. It makes the fall that much more difficult.
A heavy heart
Afraid to trust
Trust has been broken
Damaged
Destroyed
How do we rebuild
On a crumbling foundation
How do we pick up the pieces
Are they worth saving
If trust is gone
Building on a crumbling foundation - great image.
ReplyDeleteSo good that you can write and share your difficulties so powerfully in a poem. I hope the process helped make sense of the challenges you have to deal with.
ReplyDeleteRebuilding trust is so difficult. You've said it well in your poem.
ReplyDeleteHow to rebuild trust. I'm not sure myself. Maybe some of the answer is in your poem. Rebuild on a new foundation?
ReplyDeleteSorry for this here at the end of your very busy time, Leigh Anne. You expressed it well in your poem. Re-building isn't easy, but can happen!
ReplyDeleteYou ask big questions here: How do we pick up the pieces? Are they worth saving? So hard. I'm sorry this has happened. Perhaps figuring out the second question is the answer to the first.
ReplyDeleteYou expressed your emotion beautifully. Unfortunately no one can give the answers to your questions. You have to listen to your heart.
ReplyDeleteO dear - what a place to find oneself in. Sorry, Leigh Anne.
ReplyDeleteWhat a powerful expression of emotion, Leigh Anne. Trust is precious. And when it is squandered by someone I care about, knowing how to rebuild is sometimes one hazy fog. I find myself in a similar place with a child of mine. I resonated with your words. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteIt stinks to be where you are. I'm so sorry! I agree with Terje...follow your heart. It won't steer you wrong. Thanks for sharing your poem...at least the destruction of trust produced some amazing writing. Wishing you a good rest of the week!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry you experienced a break of trust. That's so difficult! I'm so glad you were able to express your feelings in a profound poem.
ReplyDeleteYou have expressed your feelings so aptly in your poem. Trust, when lost, is so hard to regain. Put your faith in God and ask Him to help with this difficult situation.
ReplyDeleteHide me now
ReplyDeleteUnder Your wings
Cover me
Within Your mighty hand
When the oceans rise and thunders roar
I will soar with You above the storm
Father you are King over the flood
I will be still, know You are God
Find rest my soul
In Christ alone
Know His power
In quietness and trust
When the oceans rise and thunders roar
I will soar with You above the storm
Father You are king over the flood
I will be still, know You are God
