Analysis of Trust
Who can you trust with secrets?
With whom would you confide?
Security and confidence you can not deride.
Who can you trust with money?
With whom would you be safe?
Security and confidence you can not rake-strafe.
Who can you trust with feelings?
With whom would you emote?
Security and confidence you can not deep-throat.
Who can you trust with promise?
With whom would you avow?
Security and confidence you can not endow.
Who can you trust with mercy?
With whom would you forgive?
Security and confidence you can not outlive.
Who can you trust with your heart?
With whom would you commit?
Security and confidence you can not remit.
