Betrayal

Betrayal
By Mariel Liza Matias-Raymundo

I said
Trust me
Trust me
Trust me.

I will come.
Trust me.

I will be there
Trust me.

I will fight
Heaven and hell
to be there
I will
be there
Trust me.

I swore.
Trust me.

I am coming.
Trust me.

I will be late
but
I am
almost
there.
Trust me.

I will do this perfectly
Trust me.

I told you
I will be there
At your back
Trust me.

I will catch you
If you fall
Trust me.

I said
Trust me
Trust me
Trust me.

You did?
Trust me?

I swore.
I came.
Trust me, you did?

I came in late.
I thought I was almost there.
You really did, trust me?

I did it.
Almost as perfectly as you wanted it
Trust me, you surely did?

Did I come?
Was I there?
Did you wait?
Trust me, you did?
