Broken Trust

Is it really that complicated?
Or is this what was fated?
A destiny so very unfulfilled?

The tears of mistrust have ran its course...
Sadness rained a thunderous storm..
Is it the Karmic wheel that was set in motion?

Like the hand of a grandfather clock...
I am reminded by the chimes of a life going by...
And of lessons I am failing to learn...

Have I simply misjudged or miscalculated?
As I continue to trust those far more jaded...
And forgo being master of a life not yet adorned?
