STRANGLED TRUST

Smile that used to come from an innocent heart,
Got uprooted in the storm years ago,
It was not lost on demise of Dad and Mom,
Got lost years later when trust was snatched.

Smiles were intact, passion to live was alive,
Dreams were still a sapling,
Until a heart was murdered,
Until trust was broken forever.

The void of parents was not so deep like the ocean,
Until he came and drowned me into his love,
I learnt to swim from one shore to the other,
I must have been a bad swimmer.

In history a time existed when I trusted men,
Until I faced a cyclone, until trust was terminated,
Trust was broken by one,
No trust prevails was proven by all.

Times have changed alas!,
Even if we sow love, melancholy we reap,
Even if we sow trust, betrayal we reap.

I learnt not to sow,
Can a soul understand my vow?
Here I stand still, watching the children playing,
Thinking about the dreams carried by my eyes,
Before I woke once upon a time.
