Part 6th of my series (Aly)
That I hadn’t been able to do
After those last shards hurt me
My faith was broken too
I've lived in this place of mirrors
To keep to myself and I
Knowing to keep myself safe
On trust I couldn’t rely
I've tried extending myself
To the world to try and see
If trust was a beauty that is attained
Or just a worthless plea
One mirror broke I lost it all
Another broke I took the fall
All mirrors cracked just the same
I've fallen for this trusting game
I've gave my heart and got rejected
With this failure I've been infected
Trust was a deal I made with my friends
The only deal I could make
Because I knew that down the road
These mirrors could never break
I lie here today with reflections of now
Staring me right in the face
I wanted to trust the outside world
Yet lost to that embrace
I can’t erase yesterday’s faults
The pain felt deep inside
Naïve to think trust held kindness
And I went along for the ride
These mirrors here will always reflect
The shattered remains of my past
With time I’ll learn to trust again
Though the memory will always last

Trust is the Broken Mirror
Trust had been the one thingThat I hadn’t been able to do
After those last shards hurt me
My faith was broken too
I've lived in this place of mirrors
To keep to myself and I
Knowing to keep myself safe
On trust I couldn’t rely
I've tried extending myself
To the world to try and see
If trust was a beauty that is attained
Or just a worthless plea
One mirror broke I lost it all
Another broke I took the fall
All mirrors cracked just the same
I've fallen for this trusting game
I've gave my heart and got rejected
With this failure I've been infected
Trust was a deal I made with my friends
The only deal I could make
Because I knew that down the road
These mirrors could never break
I lie here today with reflections of now
Staring me right in the face
I wanted to trust the outside world
Yet lost to that embrace
I can’t erase yesterday’s faults
The pain felt deep inside
Naïve to think trust held kindness
And I went along for the ride
These mirrors here will always reflect
The shattered remains of my past
With time I’ll learn to trust again
Though the memory will always last
