We were Friends

by Paul Gondwe   May 5, 2012


You led me to believe you would
be there for me,
only to be crushed by your kiss
of betrayal, you Judas

Call me a meanie, i don't care
i just think you are too confused
to even grasp what am trying to
convey to you in writing this

That i never cared for you,
is rather a foolish excuse
Just make up your mind on what you
want unlike saying lies about me

I trusted you, i opened up to you,
but all you returned was mistrust,
deny it if you will but both you and i
know you never trusted me

Should i cry or be relieved?,
one thing i know is am not feeling
guilty for something you could have easily
resolved but chose to blame it on me

Our friendship was like a house built on
sand, never to hold still
I now think am a fool
for wasting my time with you

I believe in dialogue, i believe in diplomacy
but what are we to talk about when
your heart is already made up

Let me make it easy for you,
am not going to reply to those messages
Maybe that will put a smile on your face

    Ahh.. the smell of deceit is more foul than rotten eggs.
    "only to be crushed by your kiss
    of betrayal, you Judas"
    ---So powerful and filled with anger and hurt and resentment and betrayal. Nice, nice, nice. I like how you cut that^line and 'kiss' was the last word, which for a second there, I thought it was a literal action haha, then you surprised me with the next line. Which was so cleverly written. I really appreciate these kinds of poems, so thanks for writing them lol.
    "Call me a meanie, i don't care"
    ---Okay, I won't lie. That made me smile, which I haven't been doing for quite a while haha. I really like the contrast; a serious angry tone, then it was sprinkled with a bit of humour. I like that.
    "Our friendship was like a house built on
    sand, never to hold still"
    ---Oh.. nice simile. Can I steal that? jk
    I love this poem all around. Can't wait to read more, so keep writing :)

    This poem reveals so much within each stanza-

    When lines of communication are caught within a trap of confusion it can lead to hurt feelings and anger, allowing the heart to shut down.. When precious feelings are involved within a world of chaos its understandable- I do hope things can be mended...because true friendships are not perfect, they have ups and downs... taking time to think is good and writing is a perfect release.... powerful poem Paul, once the cloud clears up..follow your heart~

    I really liked that first line on this stanza it really makes it stand out and its thought provoking. . and im sorry that you're going through this, you portrayed your emotion in a good way so very nicely written

    5/5
