A Lesson on Trust

Pretentious voices of friendship and love
Reek as they circle and embrace with lies --
Encumbering one to believe, to trust.

They say, "It comes around again,"
They say. I lose interest in the bend
Of the feigned.

Temporarily lended opportunity --
Wasted for a risk, for instability.
Hearts play.

They say, "It comes around again,"
They say. Trust does not stall nor
Does it exploit.

Lesson exhibited, lesson learned.
