I feel sad today It occurs to me That a friend has lied My friend told me He was introverted Didn’t like to share He made it seem Like it was different Talking to me He told me stories And he shared of himself And I did the same He presented himself As a lost soul A hurt soul that needed Me To listen And I did Now I realize I wasn’t the only one He shared with I wasn’t the only one The special one He told his stories to He lied And I am not special I wonder if the others know? |

If you found him out and they are as smart as you chances are, they did |

probably so, and it happens all the time. That's why I prefer to not chat to everyone nor to know more than what I read in the poetry...then I can never be disappointed as has happened probably to almost everyone at least once....a lesson learned, Susan. hugsss M |

Nothing surprises me anymore, but it still hurts when our so called friends have frabricated the truth. I'm so sorry you are feeling this way Susan. I am sure we all have our ways of coping, and somewhere inside of me, I have built a wall of shelves (behind a trap door that leads away from my heart) where I place my disappointments and all the things I cannot change....along with a collection of regrets, as well as an assortment of happy memories. I go there alot to dust them off, and try my best to keep everything in perspective. Take good care Susan~ |

I understand your sadness...we have all had this happen in some way...and it seems to happen more "on line" .. but I have learned somthing along the way that might help us understand the "whys" of things people do... yes..some do lie and play games and in the end they are found out and it catches up with them..but theres another side too...sometimes a person has deep holes cut in their soul, wounds that never heal in their hearts, and know a loneliness that never quiets...sometimes those kinds of scars need a lot more "attention" and TLC ... sometimes people will need many moments of "special" .... and... sometimes we have our own deep need to feel special to someone and so we open ourselves up or dont look behind the lines. and its quite possible to "be special" to many at one time..and still the things shared were real and valuable ... I hope you can find comfort in the things you learned and the trust shared ... just because things are shared with others shouldnt take away from the things you learned and enjoyed. mothy hugs jm |

Thank you, all, for the replies. I am not sure what I said to make it seem like my friend is someone online... I do however recongize that my need to feel like the one special enough for him to talk to is the driving factor in my feelings...which is on me, not him. It just made me sad....so I wrote it...lol Susan C. |

JM, I do understand what you say and am sure that is the case, however, why is it so hard to say, "yes I talk to several people, I need to talk". That is certainly understandable. I put a lot of effort into the "talking" and trying to be there, and understand. I was just one of many...It's not like I am mad at this person, just a bit hurt...maybe I don't have a right to be, but it is how I feel. Thank you for your kind words and taking the time to explain some things to me. Susan C. |
