Can I Trust You?
I want
to talk to you.
Can I trust you?
There are so many things
I want to say.

I'd have to expose my inner self,
and, let you see into my soul.
Will you maim me
with truth I cannot see?

Or, laugh
at the way I imagine
things could be?

I want
to talk to you.
Can I trust you with
my feelings?

..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons..
        "Desiderata"

Pat~ Only you can answer your question.
Like a country song sung by Travis Tritt
" Can I Trust You With My Heart "
I really like your poem, because the heart is so tender and can be broken so easy...Paul

After a period of proving oneself, may they be trusted to "speak" into your life or listen and not judge....and there are few to choose from any more...I enjoyed this and yep it has me thinkin'...

Enjoyed the read Pat.


As you trust any other, I am trustworthy
Speak to me, as a whisper that breaks the darkness
I will not paint the pictures of untruth
I am the listener of listeners
Be not afraid to be yourself
The soul is pure and free
I shall not be tormentor
Your words I hold with trust
A laugh and smile we might share
For we are different but sharing time
So speak to me
Your feelings; forever I shall entrust to friendship


Sincerely
Rick

Trust, the first timid step towards Love, the toe in the water, heart in the throat. Bon Chance!

Trust is not something that comes easily, nor should it be given lightly. I've been in this position before and know how hard it is to finally place yourself in the hands of another...but there are those deserving of our trust

Not easy to open one's heart...so much vulnerability...and yet nothing risked...nothing gained...love is one of life's biggest gambles...insightful write..

"Can I trust you?"---and do you have faith in your own judgement, to know when, or if, you can trust him.

Listen to your heart. The answer lies within.

(big hugggssssss) Oh Patricia, I can understand the heartfelt yearning in this, sweet friend, trust is what defines love, the anatomy and health of every heart and yes, only you can answer that question and let one know if the other is willing to listen to you! (sigh) This is touching, sweet friend, we all wish you the best, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Patricia, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
