Fair Play

This one is meant to be playful. I hope it comes across that way... Have you ever been given the "Can't we be friends," line?

I never thought that I would be
The one who cheated first, you see
I always thought that you would go
How happy I am, It wasn’t so

I figured on a broken heart
I thought it so right from the start
I think you even thought so too
But did you think it might be you

I thought you’d leave me here in tears
Counting many wasted years
Bitter, broken, afraid to mend
Don‘t worry love, we'll still be friends

A fitting poetic description of Eddie Murphy's movie, "Boomerang."
(Poetry is more than therapy for many of us Lori. . . for poetry IS!)

Perfect rhyme and meter in this Lori and the hint of playfulness does come across well. Excellent.

It is so very hard to be friends with someone you once loved deeply.
The love lost keeps getting in the way of the friendship. In fact many become bitter enemies cause they hurt so deepful from the lost love and can't recover. Bill

Yes, I've been given that line and I've also given it myself. But I meant it when I said it.

it really cuts doesn't it, no matter which way the blade turned. I think this is an aspect of life that we just gloss over Lori, and I am so thrilled that you have laid it out, brought it light. Such a crude question really, but so glad exectations sometimes don't work out, ty Lor, al

What is that old saying...All's fair in love and war...neither of which can be played fairly...but we still need to stroke the ego and not break the heart.
I really liked this write....great job!
