I hold no grudges, but I don't like being lied to. In the end, I had to break free sadly.

Broken Bridge. . A voice ignored a step much too far Total disregard and disrespected A foolish blatant lie too many Deceived tower of trust demolished The hand of kindness wickedly bitten then rejected No conscience no empathy The thin veneer obscuring a cold stone heart A vile tongue spews filth from the gutter Propagating seeds of doubt and sadness Ripping a loyal true friend heart apart Standing in noma no guns in guns at hand Separated by barbed wire and thick acrid smog After the climatic aftermath and disarray Umbilical cord severed Open sore wounds that fester and painfully hurt The salve of time heals but leaves the scars Feet stuck and tethered Hopes of reconciliation turn to dirt A pitiful charade and masquerade Driven by ego and self-pride A one way street with a dead end A broken bridge when two worlds collide. .

Hello Peter Dome, Peter you did the right thing to block this person. It is his loss you are a good poet you create poetry well. I hope this never happens again to you. Enjoy your evening my friend.

No, my friend.Not on soup.He was sending me filthy messages about women, and racist so-called jokes. I don't find funny bit shocking. I told him to stop, and he lied and claimed they were sent to him, but he passed them on. I don't like liers, and I don't like sexual degrading of women. He was not my kind of friend after all. thank you. Stay safe friend.

Hi Peter, I’m sorry to hear this my friend. In life sometimes the only option is to cut all ties , especially if it’s a toxic relationship- Alexis
