Question Of Trust

by Christy Trenholm Schmall   Mar 26, 2006


I trust not anyone
to care for my heart
They tug it and tear it
and pull it apart

Never can I give
myself to thee
that is my power
to set myself free

I will not dare
to love again
as it will hurt now
as it did then

I simulate life
because of my fear
Afraid to have
anyone too near

Never have I understood
the Snow Queen so well
For sliver my heart
condemn me to hell

My heart is so fragile
Oh can't you see
I can never entrust
my emotions to thee

    Love the very matter-of-fact style this poem is written in. the emotions are all there, but they are so subtly conveyed.

    nice work
    love and peace

    Great poem and flow up until this stanza

    "I simulate life because
    of my fear Afraid
    to have anyone
    a little too near"

    The rhythm is shaken and maybe should be revised. Other than that it was beautifully written.
