I remember it well
That one fatal night
The first time ever
That we'd had a fight

No not with a guy
She was my best friend
But our friendship that night
Almost came to an end

What was I thinking?
I'd been drinking too much
I knew he was hers
I was not sposed to touch

Blame no one alone
It's not his fault nor mine
When I asked for advice,
People said, "Give her time"

You were hurting so much
You were on the attack
Betrayed by a friend
You were stabbed in the back

But people were right
Because as time goes on
That horrible night fades
The hatred is gone

I will never forgive myself
For the pain I caused you
I am honestly sorry
Please believe me, it's true

Welcome to Passions Rhiana!

This was a very thought-provoking first post ... very poetically penned.

I'm glad to see that your point of view takes responsibility for your actions.  Drinking can lead to many regretful situations, and this is only one of many. You are fortunate that it appears that your friend has a forgiving nature. Apologies in the form of poetry can be healing for both the reader, and the writer ... keep up the writing, and check your e-mail for a special message.

Best wishes,
/Kit

Welcome to passions!!! please don't be mad but first of all, drinking is the lamest excuse for something wrong we've done.  Actually, it's not an excuse at all....Unfortunately, we all make our mistakes and have to pay for it.  As long as you really feel remorse for what you have done, that's all that counts.  It's obviously gonna be hard for your friend to accept this, but yes, give her time.  Sorry to hear that you're in a situation like this.  Great writing, looking forward to reading more of your poems.
