There are nasty rumors about you two!
"None of it is true!"
You know I believe you.
"I'd expect you to kick my ****, too!"
That's exactly what I would do!
Just make sure this plutonic relationship is through!
(FOUR MONTHS LATER)
Meeting, heart attack, rumors again!
Believing he will tell me, he didn't descend.
Planned a visit to see my sick friend.
Then, I learned the facts that truly offend.
Could not go, I do not pretend!
Thought to myself, this will be his end.
(NEXT DAY...RING)
"Your old friend is dead....
He shot himself in the head!"
I was afraid this would be said.
This was a community he once lead.
He, himself, cut the last thread.
(REACTION)
You *******!
You *******!
You took the easy way out, tossed everyone else in a ditch!
(REFLECTION)
This betrayal of a community left so much dread.
It left a once loved man, dead,
And a young lady, who will never be right in the head!
(BETRAYAL)
You betrayed all who put you on a shelf.
But most of all, you betrayed yourself.
This is based on true life events. It has been three years, and I'm finally forcing myself to deal with it in writing. I used the silly rhyme scheme just to make it tolerable to me. Not great poetry, more like therapy. Thanks for sharing this with me. Send me the bill. Haha
