A Friendly Deed

A friend I thought I had When you came in smiling gaze Stranded here I stand Trapped in a lonely maze A deluge in my oblivion Of subtle slander I miss And your words roll so blithely With a sting of a Judas' kiss I sit on the edges of morrow And find that to me you died But your deeds I labor to forgive Before Hades finds out you lied For pain when nursed is misery And pain set loose births harmony

Wilfred, oh I too have known such pain, why does it hurt so much when it comes from someone you thought was friend, well done poem, and thanks for visiting my poem, embarrassing moment, I do not know if I can go back to jazz, it broke my confidence and trampled my pride . . .
