Analysis of Trust

Nimrat Kaur 2008 (Edinburgh)



A word little used
Broken hearts, misused
Shattered glass, can’t come back
Cracks in it, clarity it lacks.

Walking around the silent hall
Faint talking and whispering heard from the walls
I look around, only darkness seen
I know this feeling, somewhere I had already been.

Trust is put in one another
Trust broken, we can’t trust the others
Ocean in eyes, smiles drown
Broken trust can’t be found
