Alternate Paths

Alternate Paths

Feelings of loneliness
Interspersed with confidence and self esteem
At its lowest level
Is the outcome
Of trust and freedom
That betrayal enjoys

Someone said trust is learned
And once broken is never earned
We live in a world of constant flux
Where relationships are fleeting
And lifelong commitments
Are only words uttered?

Please be patient
As loneliness subsides
And time heals broken lives
Confidence returns
And self esteem restores
Levels beyond expectation

Let’s enjoy partners
Who will not betray or lie
Where trust is not wanting
And friendship and love
Companionship and caring
Is securely entrenched

I will learn to live
With this in mind
As I need to be reminded
That the cost of broken trust
Immeasurable as it may seem
Has another path.
