Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

I Wish I Could Have Given More

I gave my friend a car.
She complained it was not a good one.

I paid her rent for a year.
She resented me for that.

I gave her some clothes.
She threw them out, disgusted they did not have designer labels.

I paid for her dinners when we went out
Because she never brought her wallet.

I paid until she angrily dumped me
Because I had run out of money.

M. L. Kiser November 27, 2018 at 7:34 PM Hmmm, are such people ever really our friends? One dumped me because I would not convert. Too bad people can't appreciate one another for whom they are. Well done. Caren Krutsinger November 27, 2018 at 7:41 PM It is weird how others want us to robotize ourselves for their pleasure.

Michelle Faulkner November 27, 2018 at 1:26 PM That is not a friend, you know - that is called a freeloader - and I say she did you a favor! Caren Krutsinger November 27, 2018 at 2:06 PM hahahahahaha They always say you should not be taken advantage of, but it happens so gradually....
