Trust

When you have been hurt
Why is it so difficult
To find trust
When it has so hidden itself
From you
Where does one go
To find trust again
Where does one look
Does it lie
Within the depths
Of your very being
Was it ever there
To begin with
When does trust
Enter you
Are we born with it
Is it something
We acquire
Why does trust leave
So quickly
When hurt steps
Into our mind
Where must I look
For this trust
That I once held onto
So tight
Oh where?
