You were suppose to be my friend,
But you used me to your own end,
And now you are just some thing
That I wish I had never known,
A broken fence you can not mend…

God, Have I been there! This verse echoes my feeling when I ended a 15 year friendship with someone who put her need to continue shopping ahead of my daughter's medical needs. My warrior mother's respone was the same as this stanza, but not as polite or well said. Great Job, Reindeer.

Retta,
i can fill your anguish and frustration and fear
This is so excellent.
"I do not see you,
Cannot hear the lies
You try to tell
To who ever will listen…
And you have lost me forever,
Because I will never
Speak to you again…"
Hugs Peggy

Dear Retta, A great writing. But if this is the same guy I told you to kick in the nuts. Do it again, and take off to someone who will care.

Excellent write! Walk away now.....you know he's not worth it. I've been there many times, over and over again, and it's not worth it.

Excellent! I liked this stanza:
"When I need to run in my forest,
Dance with my trees.
And
I can’t do that
If I have to smell you hiding
In the early morning breeze."
