It would be so easy to say
"He hurt me so... She's being mean!"
But I'm on "outs" with more than one
And thus a pattern must be seen.
I can't say that it did not hurt
To learn I am a lousy friend.
I'd rather blame them for my pain
But I can no longer pretend.
Though I believe I'm in the right
Perhaps it's not the "he" or "she"
As much as I hate to admit
I think the problem lies with me!

Hi there, Belle. This is an interesting poem, and it reminds of days of yore on another board with other people. But never with you.

great poem, to be able to look inside and say, maybe, just maybe I need some reworking, is a good quality, one I appreciate in a friend, who wants a friend who is always right? one who can give and take is just perfect
