Love or Hate?
We wish you well!
They say to your face
At your back, nothing is ever well
You feel you're a cynosure
Thinking you got all the admiration
Unknown to you, nothing is sure
You're on a precipitous journey
βcos if only they have their way
You will be but a memory
You think in your heart and conclude
That they are strangers, people not close
And then with strangers youβre careful
That is an error on your part
Most are actually closer than you think
Even those you think your back they pat
But in reality it is more of a stabΒ
Wishes of dead they have recited
News of your death would make them glad
Be careful those you call confidants
Your bare hand might be digging your final rest
You give them the weapon with your own hand
Some love might actually be hate in disguise
If only we have mirrors that reflects the heart
I bet we'd keep those we call enemies closer

Ah Rose...
I hope this wasn't inspired by events in your real life...though I rather suspect it was.
For what it's worth, you've mined a very impressive piece of poetry from the experience.
There's something about the writing here which makes the words come off the page with a voice of granite ... booming, portentous and bitter. And that final line is absolutely devastating!
If words could kill...these words would destroy those who betrayed you.
Magnificent!!

Sure, this write was inspired by real life events.... betrayals are always on prowl looking for preys...Lol...your last sentence made me laugh....Thanks for your words J....I appreciate
Hi Rose, there are so many out there, be careful. .. poker face!!!just shrug off###
Luckily for me I have a broad shoulder ### a lovely write.

Leah
Many on the prowl...Iike you, I also have broad shoulders to shrug off...LOL...Thanks for your words Leah.... Welcome back. Missed having you here
Those who are closest to us, if they betray us, we feel the hurt so much more than a stranger,
Brilliant poem, I really enjoyed this

You hardly see the betrayal coming because of the so much trust and confidence you have in them and so it hurts real good when it happens....I'm glad you enjoyed it....Thank you very much
There is so much truth in this, though a bit cynical.Β
I agree with you.....Thanks so much....A pleasure having you on my page
Hi Β Sweet Rose Your poem really hit home to meΒ

you down and sometimes in the worst way possible

Hi Rose what a powerful write and sadly true with some people. Hence the saying keep your friends close and your enemies closer. Great poem x
Abosulutely...Those you call friends might be the real enemies..Thanks so much for your words...I'm glad you stopped by
Very well written and extremely thoughtful. The poem told a story and gave advice. That makes it very original. Keep it up!
Thank you very much. I'm so sorry for the late response. Not deliberate
when we are let down by 'friends' it just serves to show us how precious the True friends are! Many of us here will understand exactly how betrayed you have felt but I sense a strength of goodness in you that will lead you past this and into genuine friendship that last forever! Loved your words very much xx
