&quot;Trust is not given it is earned.&quot;<br /> &quot;Friend; Boyfriend, girlfriend, best friend, all theses words end with the word end except for family, it has I love you at the end.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Can&#039;t run from your problems but you run until you collapse.&quot;


When you say
you're sorry,
how do I know
you're speaking the truth?

When you ask forgiveness,
it's not something I'll give,
it's something you'll earn.

Just like trust & Faith
no neglect can be replaced
so just say it to my face

show me you can
build allegiance
or I have no credence
for you!

prove to me you deserve
my absolution or
there is no resolution
Because you're not true!

This feud, is our fight
and if you just give up
that shows me no faithfulness.

It means you lied or
failed to speak the truth!

True friends stick together,
if they're your best friend forever!
They'll stand beside you
no matter how bad or how blue.

When you say
you're sorry,
how do I know
you're speaking the truth?

I'll know you mean it,
when I am not
walking the plank alone.

I'll know you mean it,
when I'm going through hell
and you reach out to help

If you always fight for me,
I'll always fight for you.

After all,
this is what best friends do!

This poem was inspired by my best friend & I. We are going through a rough patch and I thought I'd dedicated to everyone who gets into these situations.
