If I did not trust <br />I would be a fool: <br />Sometimes to trust is <br />The only alternative - <br />When you eat only after <br />Having hoped for food; <br />When you sleep <br />Only after having tired out; <br />When you dress up <br />As the only safe keep from nakedness; <br />When you hold her <br />In your arms as a relief <br />From lonely pain. <br />If I did not trust <br />I would be a fool; <br />I would be a fool <br />Even if I trusted.<br /><br />samuel nze<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-would-be-a-fool/
