Betrayal
Trust is Blind
Love is Blind
Closes your eyes
Your mind
Sends you gliding
Warm hand guiding
you Into a zone
Of Never Alone
But the blind are
So vulnerable, are
So easy to hit
So betrayal hits
so deep, and spits
In the face of our
Dignity, our
Ability to
Trust, to
Love
It opens our eyes
Yet leaves us in the dark

Cool pic! Nicely expressed.
And yet we can come through the darkness with a stronger heart and better vision----
after what for many of us a torturous, bitter nightmare of a battle to escpae the darkness-- getting out gracefully now that is the hard part
Great writing.
I think that while they may have been betrayed before, they shouldn't lose hope in others that are out there Are trustworthy.
Amazing.
Powerfully descriptive.
As always beautifully written.
It hurt.
Unfortunately I can relate, but I haven't lost all hope. I can't lose hope because then there would be nothing left.
Beautifully expressed as usual.
Isn't it amazing?
The ones we love the most are the ones that are most able and capable of hurting us. It makes sense if you think about it deeply.
that hits a spot...
great writing as always!
Great image, it coveys the intent of the poem very well.
wow, nice poem,and so true. you can never trust anyone FULLY and opne your heart FULLY b/c then you have the vulnerbility of getting hurt.
With great risk comes great oppertunity.
You cannot gain something as valuable as love without great risk. Nothing worthwhile ever came easily.
Yet once your trust has been abused you are damaged for life. You never give it again so easily or completely.
you cannot gain something as valuable as love without great risk, but if you keep taking those risks and trusting and being damaged in an attempt to find love, you may end up losing your chance when the right time comes..
it's true that we grow from all experiences, but some growth has short term benefits and huge long term diasvantages...
great post david
i know...
following on Mookie's comment
to laugh is to risk appearing a fool
to weep is to risk appearing sentimental
to reach out for another is to risk involvement
to place your dreams before the crowd is to risk ridicule
to love is to risk not being loved in return
to go forward in the face of overwhelming odds is to risk failure
But risks must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing. The person who risks nothing, does nothing. He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he cannot learn to feel, change, grow or love.
Chained by his certitudes, he is a slave. He has forfieted his freedom. Only a person who takes risks is free.

" I can't lose hope because then there would be nothing left."
great line...
You really have to believe in trust and love...its not easy
AFI...
It really is. Those that love us have the ability to hurt us in such profound ways. Thats why the news is full of people murdering their ex gfs or wives..or commiting suicide etc...
sarah...
Thank u
Prag...
Thanks..I think so too
Chaverah...
Yes..and yet a part of us instinctivcely wants to trust another person...

Thats so true.
I think as a child ..your whole existence is based on trust and love...and we become dependent and it creates a comfort zone that we try to recreate our entire lives.

Thanks...
Well if it didnt have such a blissful upside I dont think anoyone would be taking that risk.

what an apropos comment..
Sometimes we have to risk appearing like a fool..for love
Thanks.
a fool for love -
ye..
done that more times than i can count..
It boils down to the age old question of is it better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. For those who have never been in love, most would say that it's better to love and lose. For those who have nursed a broken heart, most will tell you that it's not worth the pain.
hey david -
what happened
i suddenly see two posts before this one here
that i didnt notice before
it's like you're posting backwards..
what's up?
it's all good -
better to have loved..
ohhh, dave
i think they are some old ones, right?
Life hurts. And the ones who hurt us the most are the ones we love the most. But yet, if we stop loving, we are the ones who lose the most.
theonlyway...
Those are the best kinds of fools
itsallgood....
I suppose...but thats letting fear control ur life...
scraps...
well said

Thanks
