An Evil Joke
August 18, 2021
The phrase "trust me"
turns my stomach into
a friendship bracelet
of perfectly aligned knots.
In the 21st century
trust is a joke
it means more to
order a coffee
than to tell me
I can trust you.
I entered this world
with bright eyes
and a perfect heart
and look at me now.
My eyes dull
from the pain they carry
and my heart pasted together
with tears and lies.
Don't tell me to trust you
because I know that phrase
means nothing to you
and everything to me.
