 Better to Give than Receive I hope you never feel it This pain you bestowed on me To cry with the lights unlit or to ask yourself “why me?” I pray you never feel this The betrayal of a friend Never feel an ache like this The hurt felt now has no end I trust you’ll never walk here Down the path of love that’s gone To be stabbed by one so dear To wake never to see dawn I wish you’ll not received it The broken heart you gave me It’s hard to believe it This....your final gift to me Hold me for yesterday Kiss me for tomorrow But love me for today. |

It is horrible to be stabbed in the back by a friend, but you just have to pick up the pieces and learn to trust again. Good poem. "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." -Oscar Wilde |

Wow. I really connected with this. I too know how it feels to have your heart broken by a friend -- it's not a nice thing. You've really expressed yourself well here. |

I feel your pain in this one my girl... you have really expressed your heart in this... your writing gets stronger with eacxh new poem...I love seeing this. stay strong SS. take care too(smile) jm Well the sun sets gently on your shoulders And it makes me want to touch you there. And the light in your eyes makes me feel Like there's something much better out there Something kind... And I know someday I might be looking around Trying to find some purpose Well purpose it can't be that hard to find As long as I've got the wind... The wind and your love to carry me. vertical horizon |

Betrayal is a harsh road to pass down....be strong little butterfly, blue skies may be around the corner. Many hugs to you and much love, Lizzie "Poetry is the true expression of my soul, it is my ultimate means of communication. It is my rainbow of delight." |

Netswan* Thank you...and for you to say you liked my title...well that is something to smile about!! for titles are my weakest point Lizzie* I'm beginning to see alot of silver linings lately but for a while it was hard to believe, thank you for the love and the hugs right back atcha Denise* There was alot of pain in this, which is why I don't want anyone else to feel it, not even the one that gave it. Thank you so much for your comments and for reading. |
