Broken friendship

       Show me something real 
   something i can touch and feel
       Begone with this pretense
   where i dwell is present tense.

       I now treat you with disdain
       your words in me find pain 
       You say " time is a healer it
        soaks up the pain hangs    
        over my head like a cloud
          in the rain "

      The fire in me burns strong 
         now of with you begone
     for your friendship i no longer 
     seek , when you were mild i 
    was meek with kids gloves i
     treated you like a child my trust 
       in you we  can not find .
 
     Thinking back i must off been
      blind i have left you far behind .

something is gnawing at me...

"I think too, we all relate to people in our lives and then we all find out, we are not alone, so this wass great, you got it out, now more writes I would love to see!! lyn~: if this is so great, why did you only give it two stars? and BTW, there is only one "s" in was. 1 star = poor 2 stars = okay 3 stars = good 4 stars = great 5 stars = awesome I am curious, Cat

I would edit if I could

but I can't seem to use that function. I would edit out the remark about spelling the word "was" as that was uncalled for. The rest of the comment stands, as we do have a star system no matter anyone's feelings about it. And as long as we do have one, anyone using it should take the time to learn how to use it properly, or not use it at all. It is one of my jobs as an Advocate to inform and educate. I do apologize about the spelling remark. Always, Cat

Hi Edd

I really liked this. It reminds me of a false friend I once had. She was all take and no give. GREAT poem. in these lines: soaks up the pain hangs hangs over my head like a take out one of the "hangs" and then it will be awesome. Always, Cat

Dear Edd

I feel I must apologize to you for starting a ruckus on your page. I was trying to educate someone on the star system and its usage, and I'm sure I could have said it better, as is my job as an Advocate. Always, Cat

cat

enda, patrick collins. not at all cat i also got the wrong end of the stick your an advocate, i did vote for you i hold you in high esteem cat your an awesome poet and a fine person as i know you i guess we are all here for the same reason and people spark of each other here just as they do in any walk of life , part of me thinks this star thing is not a totally good idea , its strange to think ruckus could be started through a poem called broken friendship , lol chat soon xx

LOL, it does seem odd, as you say, to have a ruckus on a poem called Broken Friendship. Thank you for being such a great friend. Always, Cat
