Constance La France Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

Loyalty, Trust, Respect and Betrayal

My heart is weary and my soul is heavy,
I have removed the dagger but I am bleeding still;
and I know I will have a deep scar forevermore,
oh, but could I remove your name from my mind;
and how I wish that I had never met you, friend!

You see, I am very accepting of any flaws you have,
of our differences in opinions about politics and such;
but, I am demanding in a friendship with two things
loyalty is upmost-   and I must trust you;
I heard you were talking behind my back, friend.

So, what do I do with this information told?
Isn't it odd how others like to hurt with gossip;
anyways, you have showed your true colors to me,
and they are not pretty.   But, what to heck to do???
Well, Dad always told me to keep my friends close ,
and my enemies closer!
                     But, YOU will never have my
                                      respect ever, ever again, friend.

People are not always as they appear to be but karma does exist! Constance La France October 16, 2019 at 6:29 PM Tania, thank you for understanding, how I wish that I could read this poem to my "friend" and show how much the betrayal hurt me... but yes there is karma and I have seen it working many times.. dad said have patience

Quoth Theraven October 16, 2019 at 12:43 AM Dear Heart, Try not to dwell on trivial things. Easy to say, I know. I found this poem from you. It has a message of hope. "I know the pain you are feeling my friend, this a sorrow that I have felt; through this sad time on me you can depend, in my strong arms you can just melt. It will be fine, and love will twine. Again in time, sweet joy will climb. I will be here my friend- until you mend." Your friend for life, -Richard Constance La France October 16, 2019 at 8:46 AM Richard, thank you for the beautiful comment, I wish I had strong arms in which to melt but that person is a name engraved in stone now. Perhaps my expectations in friendship is to high but somehow I can never accept betrayal ~

Regina Mcintosh October 15, 2019 at 11:55 PM Sad, but also sad when someone gossips which isn't always truth. I'm so sad about this... My prayers go out to you, dear friend. Bless you with love and prayer, Gina Constance La France October 16, 2019 at 8:48 AM Gina, thanks for visiting and commenting. Gossips are like noxious weeds, I think the devil whispers in their ear, maybe that is why I expect loyalty from friends ~

Hello There October 15, 2019 at 11:01 PM Powerful piece, Dear Heart. I'm sure many can relate. If it's a truth for you, so sorry, but it is very well-written nonetheless ~ kudos! Constance La France October 16, 2019 at 8:52 AM Hello, thank you for the compliment and yes, it is truth, so thanks for your compassion. Oddly it feels almost like the stages of grief, which I suppose it is, as it is a death of friendship. My dad told me that it would take courage not to let the person know that I know, and it sure does!
