Trust is tough.
Once bitten twice shy.
Once beaten, the heart never forgets.
There is no living in the now.
There will never be second chances
When the heart remembers the pain.

Are there others?
Sure. More than a few.
Will they hurt you?
Possibly.
Can you afford not to try?
Not on your life…
Risk is part of the game.

Trust is tough.
You never know who to trust.
But you always know who you cannot.
Far too many lies.
Far less truths
All of them sugar-coated with promises
All of them with, “i love you’s”
Empty, cold and unforgiving.

Will there be other times
Where you can safely choose who’s next?
Sure, time is timeless.
Can those loves hurt?
Possibly..
Because that is what love is…
Risk is part of the game.

Trust is tough.
Love is complicated.
Love is everything you do not expect
Out of love.
Trust is Tough…
Love… Love is tougher!
