[hometext] => For a Friend, who I hope nobody will ever hurt again .To the man who caused that hurt, I hope you are truly sorry
[bodytext] => Sometimes this rage spits me back into my chair I have never met you, yet you invade my thoughts with sharp stabbing thorns I do not hate you That would be as harsh as the rasping cold wind in the deep of a winter night Yet still I feel no pity The fate you wear now, a coat fashioned from your own blindness This crime, this jealousy, you allowed that seed to grow Your actions ripple now, a stone so carelessly dropped in the pool of my surroundings I never asked to see that monster of emotion That poisoned and gnawed at your soul Now our paths have crossed, I have to walk through your dark shadows. She offered you a gift, friendship, pure untainted warmth What should have been enough was never enough You had to control, yours the scorpion sting You stole the dawn of new happiness from her Cut her with the pieces of her own shattered dreams If shame is what you feel now You might yet burn with the heat of her pain As I held her, silently suffering, a girl torn with sadness Yet still too proud to cry Tears trapped inside,like her spirit you tried to bind Moments of madness destroying what could easily last a lifetime Jealousy led the dance for you Offered you her cup from which you drank so freely The light of reason dimmed in your clouded mind You allowed that precious gift to walk from you Let a true friend step out into the night I will keep the watch now Guard her against the cruel arrows of those who see only themselves Those like you, who never had a right to take more than was really given Take time to look at your soiled reflection, look deep and perhaps realise Yourself in the bright light of truth you will stand there Take careful note of the self made fool [comments] => 2 [counter] => 163 [topic] => 48 [informant] => puppy_dog_eyes [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )
