Consuming energy what a waste of opening and closing of valves
When one quick movement in maddening haste can
Unbutton heartsent delves.

Then, past upon the shelves to be covered with mites and dust.
Having had kitty bites and bleeding rust
Gone with all the trust.

Too bad; gone with all the trust
With exposure, gone the sensual lust
Man has turned to rust, gone essential trust.

trust  is a big issue, Buttons...sometimes I have my buttons pushed a bit, never had them twisted

thank you for your response; twisting those valves closed seems like a better option for me.  I could open, but would I ever completely trust again?  No, just not worth my energy.  I'll put it where it can be used in a more positive manner.
Thanx again for your response.

Sometimes you just have to take the chance and trust again...it isn't easy.

Buttons, I don't think I've welcomed you yet.  Sounds like trust is gone and that is sad.  It's like the loss of innocence.  Interesting comparison.  Welcome to PIP. I hope you will find a warm family here.
