An apology you'd like, A public slaying of my honor, But I cannot give you what you seek, When you have shared the hour. Discretion less than noticed, You raged on with your thoughts, Advanced perhaps too far, And fear in me, you brought. Perhaps I overreacted, Perhaps I blew your cover, But sooner than a friendship called, The fun of it was over. They blamed you for my pain, This, I admit, is true, And even though I told them different, They still believed it was you. What you'd like of me is plain, A public slaying of my honor, And that I cannot give you friend, I'm not the only one that faltered. There was an underlying seduction, Established in your voice, And I tried to accept your friendship, Although you gave your choice. Perhaps not out loud, Did you make your clear intent, But with your every move and thought, Your emotions were clearly sent. But you never thought I'd speak of this, Your underlying tone, Well let me tell you friend of mine, I'll no more, this, condone. I will not openly suffer, For your twisted whim, And burn myself at the stake, For friendship I have to win. You think I've caused your life some pain, And scarred your past relations, Well let me say, my friend, Your disdain is your elation. You thrive on blaming others, sir And I care not for your game, But as a friend and in the distance, For some reason I remain. Although you do not ask of me, This constant vigil, mine to keep, I keep it well within my heart, For a public humiliation for friends, Isn't something I actively seek. But you know your part as well as I know mine, And I will be here ever, Because to bitterness myself, I will not be confined. Go on and rage, my friend For I will not rest, And if there ever was a truer one, My friendship has withstood a test. But I need not be a marytr, sir For withstanding our demise, And although I seek our peace, You choose only to despise. One thing will remain as I promised before, My hand will always be extended, Even when you close your door. [This message has been edited by Temptress (edited 06-12-2001).] |

And I say "good for her!", she acted with dignity, conviction, and compassion, extending the hand of peace. This was great! ~*~ Remember to tell someone today that you love them as tomorrow may never come ~*~ |

a rough rhyme indeed, but, considering the subject matter, a rough rhyme works better. . . well done. . . ---------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |

Wow, this one sure says an awful lot. Sometimes the intent of others is not always clear to us until perhaps it is almost too late to realize what is going on. A true friend would never do such a thing. They would put YOU before them at all costs because a friend cares about you, the real you. I am sorry you had to go through this, Temptress. Whoever made you feel this way is just plain selfish and mean. And as they say mean people suck! Ok, I am done rambling for now. Good write. The rhyme fits well I think to drive your point home. All writing comes |

If only our language could convey what we mean instead of what we say. Because it is so often that our words and actions are miscontrued, it's times like these you've lain bare here in which we find our hearts ensued. [This message has been edited by VAS (edited 06-12-2001).] |

That's right, Temptress, always take the high road in life. Your "friend" has a problem, my dear, not you. Cor |
