This set of two poems is an emotion prose poem vs another emotion. The two contrasting emotions describe how people can be split between two different feelings simultaneously. The two poems are set side by side and personified.
Trust
Trust holds the hands of the lonely, lights the way in the dark. When hearts jump, trust catches them like open arms. Trust leavse no eyes unopened, no words unspoken. It is the son that breaks the darkness of clouds and dries the tears on a forgotten face. Trust remembers those who left no mark and brings them flowers. Trust picks up the drooping frowns on the face of lost hope. Trust goes home to Courage and they hold hands and watch the sun rise. She goes out in the day and begins all over again.
Suspicion
Suspicion knaws at the back of our throats. He puts nightmares on our pillows. Waiting... For our minds to absorb the dread. Suspicion lurks, quietly in the bottom of our stomachs. His butterflies are let loose into our blood as they flutter and fly about. Suspicion weighs down on our eyelids, heavily dragging down our hopefulness. He fights with our laughts, trapping them in jars, throwing them over cliffs, never to be heard again. Suspicion drives our minds over the edge, and into the cave he crawled out of.
