Trust Not

Trust Not

I’m sitting by the fire,
Wondering what went wrong.

I said it all,

I broke your trust,

That is what went wrong.

I said the things I shouldn’t say,

Of things you told me not too.

Yet still I said the secret things,

Alas, I am a fool.

I deserve not your trust,

For it seems it cannot be held.

Neither do I deserve your pity,

For such is a pathetic man as I.

For I am the betrayer of the betrayed,

Who has been betrayed and thus betrayed.

And betray,

That I have.

I cannot stop it,

I know not why.

I hate the lies,

But lies are all that happen.

Curse them fiercely,

I curse them innocently,

But that is all I know.

                                                                                      

So trust not the untrustable man,

Trust not the untrustworthy fool.

For that be me,

As I’m sure you know.

You deserve better,

Than such a fool,

As myself be me.
