can faith and trust be restored once broken?
when the heart bleeds from it`s deep lacerations
piercing pain that grips this beating organ
is choked with remorse and consternation
for the very deeds that were inflicted
so harshly on this innocent soul
have left scars that cut through its central nerve
thus leaving a sensation of lost control
even the mere spoken vulgarity
has sent shock waves echoing around
can faith and trust be restored once broken ?
time will tell, if hope eternal is found
a fragile situation that with hope may well be repaired through effort and time

Thank you for sharing this thought-provoking poem, it seems to really depend on the person. If a heart is damaged beyond repair, that heart probably doesn't even have the choice. But if it can be healed, anything is possible. Very good and interesting poem.
Once lost it is hard to regain, but well worth trying.
