When Providence Delivers

The problem is that
No one knows what
The other person is thinking
Even if they tell each other
All hours of the day

As one could be lying
But more often what they say
Is not quite what they are thinking
As most thoughts are
Out of touch with subconscious
Leaving the opponent guessing
Trusting
Hoping

Presuming the best if optimist
Presuming the worst if pessimist
No matter how close their relationship
Ought to have been worth something

All bets are off
All relationships worthless
Loyalty courtesy friendship out the window
And the only one standing
Stands wondering
Until that day

When providence delivers
