Betrayal

Have you ever felt the betrayal 
from a string of broken promises? 
You may not say anything, 
but distrust breeds within 
at any promise others make. 
You become always wary 
saying to yourself silently 
it will never happen again. 
It makes you lose trust 
in all those around you, 
colleagues at work 
and even some close friends. 
Sadly it is a fact of life, 
something we all too often 
take as common place, 
but it is not 
and only a few should be 
tarred with that brush.
