Trust

I don't understand
the meaning of trust anymore
You say that you trust me
and that I should trust you
because you want to know my secrets

And you disappear
and after a while
everyone knows my secrets
and you say that is trust
Now I am confused

Has the meaning of trust changed?
Does trust mean that you
should tell all my secrets
when I asked you not to tell?

Or you do not know
what trust means?

  1. What a strong young woman you are, Shelly, to look this issue of trust so squarely in the eye. It is a tough concept to understand at any age, yours in particular. Thank you for posing these very important questions.
