I'M Sorry, But I Thank You

(For a once upon a time best friend)

I’m sorry you hated your mom and your dad
and your thinking that everyone treats you so bad.
I’m sorry you think your good man is too thin
and a small thing I said you took as a sin.
I apologize for ever being your friend,
but I thank you for putting our ties to an end.


For Barbara Gorelick's "Apology Accepted"

Linda Milgate Date: 12/31/2010 4:55:00 PM Sharp and to the point. Will put this in favorites for possible use when people I know just never stop wallowing. A little wallow is necessary to heal, but a neverendingwallow is such a pain to be around. Thank you for these clever lines. Login to Reply

Daver Austin Date: 12/29/2010 2:18:00 PM Your x-friend must have had a black cloud over his/her head. I've been feeling rather poor - no energy, lethargic. Is it the Christmas time crud? I know i've been eating things that are devastating to my stomach. Can't get up the stuff to write any poetry - who wants to read about a wretched gut? On the bright side. You have a wonderful New Year's Eve. Love, Dave Login to Reply

Paul James Date: 12/29/2010 8:40:00 AM I was not quite sure how to take this, it seems to hang between distance and sarcasm. Unusual and tense for all its brevity. Login to Reply

Crystal Wilkins Date: 12/29/2010 5:56:00 AM This is magnificently done, if i do say so. They way you have twisted the apology into a thank you. Friends like that are hard to deal with, though they can bring wonder to our lifes, I'm sorry your friendship came to an end but there always something to come along a fill the void she left behind, very well written, Thank you ever so much for your comment, I really appreciated it Happy new year Crustal ~X~ Login to Reply

Eamon Duffin Date: 12/29/2010 2:02:00 AM Hi Andrea. That I could in any way inspire you I class as an honour (and a surprise). Thank you. Loved this witty, hard hitting cleverly worded piece. I shall be staring up at you on the podium with this. I made me laugh an glad that I am not at the sharp end of your pen. Be safe, Eamon Login to Reply
