Looking Back

If only I could learn to do what this photo, tell me to do.
Looking back, I wonder where I went wrong.
Looking back, I can see it was a facade. 

It is difficult to see that it was fake. 
It is difficult to see that I was the fool.
It is difficult to realize all of these things, 
And still miss the past. 

Looking back now it is clearer.
Looking back now I can see, 
But it still hurts. 

I wonder how to go on trusting.
I wonder how to go on building new relationships.
I wonder how to learn to trust again.

Trust No One

This is a poem about losing a friend. Sometimes we grieve a friend we lost but sometimes we grieve the friendship that was never there. It makes it difficult for us to open up again, but we need to be open. If we are not, then we lose the chance of making a real friend. 

No one to trust

Nowhere to go
I roam the streets looking
For help, for trust, for someone
To believe me and take me in

My heart is empty and hurt
From the pain of losing you
Losing what I thought was
Trust, hope and a friend

Naïve and stupid, now I trust no one
Are they all lies?
