Trust

It's the tiniest of lies
but big enough to crush my insides
and in that split-second
in the little word "no,"
all by itself
you throw a scrap of food
to the caged beast,
Insecurity,
who in turn breaks loose
and pays a visit to Fear
before the rape and pillage
of my heart.
Reconstruction becomes
more than words.
And actions are required now
to carry the burden
of taking what's left
and filling in the cracks.
So stand on your scaffold
and paint me Love and Hope,
so at some point
Trust will come back,
unpack her bags,
and settle inside me again.
