    This is absolutely beautiful. I've never read the book that you mentioned in this poem but it was not necessary to feel the emotions you put behind this. My favorite verse:

    I told you that I would never betray you and you laughed at me,
    Saying "In some circumstances people just do, you'll see."
    So now I recite the same quote, crying, just to me,
    "Under the spreading chestnut tree, I sold you...
    and you sold me."

    How true that is in real life. I've been the victim and the victimizer in this poem and could relate totally. Great job.
