"A 5 Letter Word"

---

What's a five letter word for won't let go?
The name of this game is *blank* Me.
Sounds like rust...
Add a T and you get 25 bonus points
"Trust"

Don't tell anyone comes before it
Follows up with "would I lie to you?"
Reliance lies in it
Confident expectations
"Trust"

He Said, She told, We all know
A Conversationalist's Best Advice
It's in the heart, not in the mouth
Why do people even do it?
"Trust"

It's like a game we play
It will only get you in hot turmoil
Mama always Warned me about it
I don't even do it to myself.
"Trust"

Dried blood stains on the road like in my heart
Zip locked secrets, and razor tongues,
If I could only breath it back into you
I should have known better
"Trust"

* Posted by greG on May 10, 1999 - awesome description of the lack of trust. Not too many people want to trust others for fear that they will be abused and taken advantage of. Superbly written. I can identify on many levels - Greg

* Posted by stace on May 16, 1999 - Oh, I know the weight of this feeling. I trust no one. I would give my whole self up before I trusted someone to care.
