(RING) 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 son of a ***** You son of a ***** 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
