An Internal Warning
Once a trust is broken there is no repair.
An internal warning
says "let buyer beware."
Once a trust is broken there is no reward.
An internal warning
says "acknowledge discord."
Once a trust is broken there is no reform.
An internal warning
says "things become lukewarm."
Once a trust is broken there is no recourse.
An internal warning
says "don't beat a dead horse."
Once a trust is broken there is no respect.
An internal warning
says "note the heart defect."
Once a trust is broken there is no return.
An internal warning
says "watch the bridges burn."
