How Could You

When you eviscerate me from your life
I plunge into a vortex of emotional strife

Not only are you cold and fallacious
Your offensiveness is also mendacious

Is it not enough for you to victimize
that you have to constantly criticize

Tell me who do you think you are
Your actions are crazy and bazaar 

You are so angry that you see scarlet red
I no longer hurt - you bewilder me instead

Caren Krutsinger Date: 6/30/2018 8:18:00 AM I am moved by this, because I see this in the female realm all of the time, especially between preteen girls and I wonder at the swiftness of their complete indifference and coldness to someone who was for a long time their go-to friend. Well done! Login to Reply Susan Gentry Date: 6/30/2018 2:01:00 PM Thank you. Sad but true.
