I Felt Elated

Hitchhiking to Halifax,
 
a friend offered to go with me.

I felt elated; he was my hero!

Then he robed me,

and it hurt like a punch in the gut!

How terrible for you Emile. It is sad how some people have no conscientious and don't mnd betraying a friend. I am sure that old adage "live and learn" came to mind. I had something simular happen to me and it still stings to think about it. At least you got a great poem from that experience. Your ending took me by surprise. #7

Thanks Connie, at the time I felt devastated, now not so much, as you said "live and learn". Emile.
