The One You Got Over On Was Your Friend

Sometimes people takes love and a lover for granted when they are good, kind and loving who has a giving heart. Most are taken advantage of. But the price to pay is you might lose a friend.

 

THE ONE YOU GOT OVER ON WAS YOUR FRIEND
 
 
I hear you bragging about the fool you’ve got
          Ain’t nothing but a clown and using is what it is all about
You can get this and that with ease
          And don’t have to beg and say please
You always get what you want and have plenty to spend
          You say you had a fool but the one you got over on was your friend.
 
 
You always thought that there were plenty of suckers to play your game
          Now you’ve found someone you love and they’re doing the same
You look back longingly at what you had
          Now you realize what you had and feel bad
And you wish you could change what you did and make amends
          Realizing now the one you thought you got over on was your friend.
 
 
Sometimes it takes these things to happen to open your eyes
          For it to sink in and to realize
That love is not from a fool but from a person of trust
          Don’t look at the outside but from within a must
And you’ll come to realize in the end
          The one you got over on was your friend.

An interesting and poignant write that many will relate to. So sad what some take for granted, use and abuse....

Be always safe,
Karen

She Intrigues Me, Revelations Of Love by Jon Willey

If you tend to believe romantic, passionate, masculine poetry is a thing of past eras, read "She Intrigues Me," and be swept away in the beautiful craft of a contemporary poet of love.
