False Guilt

I know what it meant
I’m clear on the purpose
Your message was sent
The meaning has surfaced 

You think I’m not smart
And believe I don’t know
But I started this chart
I’ve been watching it grow

I’m fully aware
Of what you intended
You’ll say I’m unfair
Our friendship, suspended 

But, though I am nice
I, too, have a limit
False guilt won’t suffice
This charity’s ended

A stab in the back is not only hurts but is unforgivable. It seems that nice people are always taken advantage of. Such a shame. Hoping you are well Anna.
