Broken Trust

By Clouded Eyes

A work inspired by Trust Betrayed

I hurt her with my words
My beautiful little leopard
Though I felt it was a must
I still broke her trust
When I told someone else her secret
But though it's something I regret
I did it to keep her safe from harm
Because there was a sounding alarm
She was too close to the edge
I wanted someone to help her off that ledge
And even though she hates me now
I hope to earn her forgiveness somehow

Author's Note:

When it became apparent that I wasn't the one who could keep the one I love safe, I found someone I believed could and told them her secret. I know this hurt her a lot, but I hope ta gain her forgiveness.
