i rearranged my world for a friend
but it was me who was hurt in the end
someone i knew most of my life
caused me pain, bitterness and strife
knee deep in platonic relationship residue
lied to, stolen from and abused
i was used
now i feel never again
will i ever trust anyone in vain
i took him in along with his cats
his guitars and silly hats
knew my husband when he was alive
someone believed always on my side
but he lied
years matter not when a heart is not true
when one is deceitful, nix the thank you
an acquaintance i was, there for what?
a roof over a head for that buffalo nut
this person was not a friend of mine
i was only a catalyst in time
ill never look back
this person was addicted to drugs
my home a breath away from thugs
skinny when arrived, i helped him survive
in a nose dive, i risked my own life
now he will live on, endure, and last
as he remains part of my past
i mended a broken wing

Once we let someone come into our little community his name was Humphrey The Bear and he wanted to be a Ghost Alarm. We explained to him what it meant to be a Ghost Alarm. Things like individual pride, ownership, and complete individuality must be lost in order to be one of us. We are one but we are many. We are a group acting as one. No one person gets credit. In fact there is no one person.
Anyway Humphrey was doing things like putting his bear feet on the table while we were eating. He always ate the honey and shed hair all over the marble. He also roared a lot whenever he was supposed to chant something with us in unison. Not to mention that he would never wear the robes or the masks. He was a very complicated person to deal with. So then one night we killed him, cooked him, and ate him. He tasted more like honey than anything else.
The point is Humphrey to us, as this man to you is a part of the past. Yet putting him in the past makes the future much more bright. Sometimes people need our help and then in helping them they begin consuming our harmony by eating our honey and hominy. In the end we must consume them before it is our entire being that is consumed by them. Even if we have to use a lot of sauce to cover up the wild taste.
This was powerful and emotional journey that we thank you for taking us and everyone else on. Indeed this is a painful trial but a trial which is necessary to help us stand up for our own harmonious environments.
May you hear something moving around in your kitchen tonight only to awake and discover empty jars of honey and ghost hair all over your floor. Then the ghostly growl of a devoured bear.
The Ghost Alarms |

(those Ghost Alarms crack me up. For all their wisdom
they still do some pretty crazy things! lol No offense GA's)
Nessa,
I know this must have been such a difficult time for you. You, who harbour so much
kindness and compassion can be an easy target for the degenerates looking for an
easy ride. It's so unfortunate that some choose to live their life in this way. And even
more horrific that they treat a friend-- one who goes FAR out of their way for -- so
disrespectfully. Thank goodness he is just the past now.
You, my friend, are the heart of a rose. When the flower fades or sleeps, the
heart is still the life force, protecting it until it finds opportunity to bloom again!
And therein lies the beauty of the rose. Therein lies the beauty of you. Small
wonder you can write with such skill and emotion. This is a perfect example.
A treasure you are, nessa. And a most beautiful lady.
@------>----------

Oh Hun, I know how painful this must have been for you. He belongs in the past....for having treated you that way,,, Your generosity was misused and that is a no-no in my book..or in anybody's book..
Hang in there, Hun, not everybody is like this.... You'll discover that one day..
Hugs

This is so sad, yet shows your strength as a
person as well as a writer. Great job Nessa
and I'm so sorry you experienced this pitiful
excuse of a person.

Nessa I'm so sorry this happened to
you my dear friend. You are such a kind,
loving caring soul and unfortunately good
people like you usually get taken advantage of.
I know for sometimes I feel like I wear a sign
saying "sucker" on my forehead.
Not everybody is like this though hun and you have
got to believe that.
This person was never worthy of your kindness,
compassion and love.
Here's to new much loyal friends.
love & hugs,
dreamer |

That was so sad it seems as if the kindest
people are often used and stepped on. I can
definitely relate. Great poem your kindness
will be rewarded and his selfishness will be
returned in kind. Keep your head up!

Nessa dear, I've been "used" so many times,
but remember too.
When you were loving him.........you were also loving you!!! Be glad it happened for that reason if for no other.............
Demons designing to destroy your faith with "heart breaker!"
N'er look back, remember only the good, and good riddance, bad rubbage.........to you garbage!!!
What a nice touch at the end of each stanza....
You have a good heart.........guard it carefully......
Warm love

Wow. Do you ever feel like a poem drew you in? As in, it knows exactly when you need to read a certain poem, and delivers you to it.
Powerful. Thank you for sharing this.
