"Don't turn around"

But I did anyway,
fool that I was,
for I wanted once more to see
who stabbed me
in the back
when I least expected it;
then saw your once kindly visage
as you finished me off
with your

"Goodbye"

Why do I know this exact feeling?
Hurts a lot, doesn't it?
Nice job on the poem, sorry about the topic.

Ron, Sy, Sandra, Chris, Vandana, Ethel thanks to each for reading. I'm happy to say this is from the past, and I can finally meet it head-on.
I'm so sorry you experienced pain, Chris!

Kacy,
I know somebody like that. Their loss!

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

Raph, Bill, Sue, Larry, Nancy
thanks for reading.

This poem allowed me to safely vent for myself and anyone else who has ever been so shabbily treated by a so-called friend, lover, or family member.

Wow! That really bites at the heart! Well done, midnitesun!

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

If you haven't felt the knife a time or two, you haven't lived.
