[hometext] => It is a poem about friendship, just not in a good way. It's also not directed at anyone on here.
[bodytext] => Cast your shadow on my memory
you're not a friend, but a mockery
When I reached out
you spread some doubt
I still made you my priority
you made an effort, albeit briefly
I understand now why 'nobody cares'
of your shortcomings they're painfully aware
Why should you have a friend, when you aren't one?
I gave you my best...and then some
People give a damn about me, 'cause I do in return
Open your eyes to the truth; don't jealously discern
I expect trust and loyalty
you showed neither, so I set you free
I'll be the best friend you never had
you blew your chance, but don't feel bad
Wouldn't want you to go against the grain
Apology not accepted, so please---refrain!
There's one thing I do better than 'friend', it's enemy
When I twist the knife, I'll remember you; fondly
Author's note: The ending is strictly metaphorical ; )

Oh dear Scorp. I am shaken.
Your beautiful lines echo my "Wired into the soul by God"
Oh how I identify, !
Seems you composed that for me.
Be blessed Scorp
Peace and love

Summary was fabtablous...........To the point, and hope the point has been taken.! No need of FAKE friends.we will have only a hand full of TRUE friends, are entire life......I have been told that.! As, i get older, i do see it.! Like what I just posted.its what that can be said, and from the heart, that makes it...........no matter what, how, or when..as long as its TRUE! Loved it

I'm so glad u got that off ya chest dearest Scorp. It truly needed to be said. You don't need to hang on ta unworthy friends like that. Get rid of that friend. You deserve friends that are true and loyal. Believe me they are rare to find, but they do exist. May ur heart never see a sad day.
*heartfelt hugs to u dear Scorp*

PS You show 'em what ya made of girl! |

(lol nice disclaimer at the end there, very wise to point that out)
I especially liked the second to last stanza in this piece here, as while the poem itself was really centralized and to the point, that particular stanza was just so much stronger and more to the point (if that's even possible...)
I do have a bit of a discrepancy with the first stanza's finishing lines, which seem a wee bit out of place with the write. Nevertheless I enjoyed it, and it was rather harsh to the person it's dedicated to...lol, remind me to stay on your good side : )

Whew, Haunterriffic!!!! I'm glad the ending is "strictly metaphorical". Had me scared there for...well a minute or so!
Awesome, awesome write!!!! Wow! You never cease to amaze & impress me.
So, that's a rubber knife, correct? Heeheehee

Only metaphorical, darn......I thought you really stuck it to him! :) Never-the-less this poem does an excellent job of depicting an unhealthy relationship. A firey spirit you display, in a good way! :)
Well done, Scorp
