Fractured bonds

Do you know the feeling when your heart's trust is broken,

And that person you trusted was nothing but a token?

It's not your mistake, for believing in them with all your heart,

It's their mistake, for breaking the trust, and tearing you apart.

But there's someone new in your life, who's trying to understand,

But they are confused by your behavior, unable to take a stand.

They wonder why you hide your tears, why everything's about them,

And why you don't lean on them, or trust them as a gem.

It’s not their fault, for the confusion they feel,

It's the trust issues that linger, refusing to heal.

These issues left by someone else, who broke your trust before,

It's not your fault, it's just the trust issues you still explore.
