Can I trust you? When everything in my life seems to tear at the seams Will you be there? When the only thing that I need is to be held Will you listen to me? When I have something on my mind that needs release I’ve lost a lot of life within such a short time When only tears and anger has held my heart Friends, to me, are those who betray you and lie right to your face For I have only stood by them and told the truth all the way, and they have never stood by me Therefore, good friends must only be those that cause pain or else they would never have left I need someone… To wipe away my tears when skies are gray I need someone… To encourage me when I feel that I’ll fall I need someone… To be there when there’s no one left Yet is there such a person that can set my world free? Someone who can pull down each star and brighten my smile when tears get in the way Someone who believes in me as much as I believe in them But will I be able to hide past pain, past heartache to a person who hasn’t yet to earn my trust? Can I trust them? When their life seems to shatter Will I be there? When they need someone to rely on Will I listen? When they tell me their darkest of secrets Will they want someone like me? Who will not lie to those they care about Will they need me? Someone who treats them with the respect and dignity that they “deserve” Can I trust them? And forget the lies I have been told in the past…Birth sign: Scorpio
