Poetic Mondays: Trust Issues (B.E.S 2/11)
This monday we feature part two of Brown Eyed Soul’s eleven part series of poems. Yet again, we let you know that these poems were written after the author went through a difficult break-up and here we know that there is no better way to get through a tough time than doing what you’re passionate about.
You say “yes” but I hear “no”
You take me high but I feel low.
When it’s hot I prepare for the cold;
I’m standing but I look for something to hold.
When all is good I see bad;
I’m worried when I should be glad. Usually I’m mostly mad;
This way of living’s kinda sad.
It’s beginning but I search for the end;
Always looking for something to mend.
I’m complete but I still feel broken,
Haunting for the words that are still unspoken.
I resort to my glass of wine,
Whenever I can’t read between the lines. But I always put on a deceiving smile,
And I pretend I have it all at least for a while.
I got severe trust issues baby,
And they’ve gotten a whole lot worse lately. That’s why I constantly need to hold you,
So I can stop feeling so blue.
But I’m a working progress;
Slowly collapsing this surrounding fortress. And even if you feel that you must stop,
I beg you, please, do not give up.
