As a general rule
I entrust myself to no-one
Not in my entirety
Just pieces
Moments
Fractions of myself
Nobody is ever paid in full
Lest I be lost to one who hurts me
Who brings back the pain and torment
That tortured me so long in ages past
So I may keep myself intact longer
Only crack at the edges
The veneer
Never where I bear the load
I entrust myself to no-one
Hold myself accountable to me alone
I do not take chances on those who should hold me in account
Except you
Lovely you
With the smile so bright
Though I know you fight the darkness too
I hold myself accountable to you
I entrust myself to you
Only you
