My Trust

Yesterday I bared most of my soul to you,

And I hope you understand.

I've told you secrets;

Things I've kept to myself,

I'm suprised that I trusted you.

I've been hurt before.

I thought I'd learned my lesson,

Maybe I learned something different.

I haven't trusted anyone

For so long.

I've been hidden inside,

away from everyone else.

I hope my trust in you is right.

If you knew what it meant to me,

How badly I was hurt before,

How alone I feel,

Then you'd understand.

I'm begging you:

If you're only going to hurt me,

And tell everyone.

Let me know now ,

Before I tell you

All of me.

I feel so vulnerable now,

And a single word could hurt me.

Don't take advantage ,

of my trust in you.

Don't hurt me,

Please. I'm begging you.

If you know you won't hurt me,

And that I can trust you.

Show me,

And I'll be there for you

As long as you'll be there for me.

I'll understand if I'm wrong.

It won't be the first time.

I can only hope

that you'll keep me

from becoming what I was before:

Emotionally broken,

hiding behind the mask

Of a heartless bitch.
