Truth is factual and trust is emotional ,
The former is real and latter is ethical.

The affinity between the two is remarkable ,
One is born of witness and the other indescribable .

Truth ever takes time to sustain and shine ,
Unless trialed ,none can trust undermine.

Trust not anyone unless one is proved trustworthy ,
Failing which bound to cry over faith in the unworthy .
