Trust is an unfaithful soldier
Built of the heartbreak and pain of others
Commitment is a dream of that soldier
A dream of a dream about the sanity of realistic expectations
Faithfulness is a promise to yourself that you cannot honor
Honor is an object of others and doesn’t belong in a selfish world.
Fear is the loss of trust. A realization that the soldier was real to itself.
A realization that Trust was itself unfaithful.
