A Known Quantity

Known you.. I’ve known you in oh so many forms weak, spineless, pitiful yet sucking it all up, sucking it all in the nectar of every soldier bee goes to fill your whimpering form look how you grovel to the leader a mere ruse to suck dry the abundance of others Soft and sweet and pleasant but bitten the hand that fed you one too many time Loving you caring for you .. basically a death sentence a deal killer that’s what you are a rabid queen of heart without a flamingo’s head to bash against the balls of life so .. you use the balls of others to climb UP to sneak under .. to support your jellied form Known YOU? Hell yes I’ve known you .. and it’s about time I cut the bloody cord. Good bye .. Friend

I've never had friends that close who are not still my friends. It's sad to feel betrayed this way.

Nice, very nice because of practically happens in life from many ways, though not for all. Now it is often seen that many use the balls of others to climb UP to sneak under .. to support his jellied form. I think that Civilization needs to move from another angle. Thanks, for your comment on my write. bl

Oh my! I would want to cut the cord that ties anyone to such a "friend," Deb. Very powerful statement here. Sometimes we are drawn to people at first and then we learn later how they really are. Awesome write! I can relate to your message, Deb. I am okay, but the illness is definitely progressing. So glad I got to meet you this year and I hope we get to spend more time together again soon. Love and blessings to a real friend, Carolyn

Holy Cow.... I had no idea you knew me so well. Heck, I gotta admit it's a great poem though..... or, am I just sucking up? If you'll apologize for exposing me; I'll tell you which..... Oh, admit it, you egoist; you know it's a great poem.
