Trust

Betrayal,
Back Stab,
Deceit.
These are only,
A few things,
To describe,
The unmentionable treachery,
That is,
The misuse,
Of one of the most precious things,
We as people,
Have to give to others.
That is,
Our trust.
How should we react,
When we give a person our trust,
And they take it willingly,
Only,
To cut it up into pieces,
And abuse the gift they have been given.
Using it for selfish,
And greedy purposes.
Taking the sacred information,
Only to become two faced,
Turning around and spreading it onwards,
Sharing it with people,
Whose ears,
Were not meant to hear it.
Potentially causing a conflict,
That was never meant to take place.
But what happens,
When you decide to take the chance,
The gamble,
To put your trust in someone,
One more time?
Is there someone out there,
Who instead of betraying you,
And letting you down,
Makes the decision,
To take that special gift,
And cherish it,
Not wanting to do anything,
To jeopardize,
What they've been given.
However,
There may come a time,
When that person,
Either accidentally,
Or intentionally,
Breaks that bond.
How many chances can we give?
Is there a set number,
Of second chances,
we are allowed to give out?
Personally,
There are certain people,
I will never trust again.
And there are others,
Whom I will give as many redo's,
As it takes,
Because I care for them,
With all of my heart.
But that's just me.
