Notes About The Poem

Misconstrued

you misunderstood my words
assumed the worst
where that anger came from
i’ll never know

you closed the door
without a glance
you walked away
and that was that

you weren’t the friend
i thought you were
but from my heart
i wish you well

the sting will hurt
but not forever,
may life be good to you ~

Unseeking Seeker July 19, 2025 at 7:19 PM I’d say reach out, forgive the friend and yourself too. Ho’oponopono is a very effective forgiveness prayer. Line Gauthier July 19, 2025 at 8:03 PM absolutely ~

Bill Baker July 19, 2025 at 6:55 PM Great attitude and profound lesson included in this fine poem, Line. Peace be with both of you. Bill Line Gauthier July 19, 2025 at 8:03 PM no hard feelings ~

sara Etgen-Baker July 19, 2025 at 4:23 PM Recently, a similar thing happened to me. A lifelong friend just up and cut ties with me...the sting was real for a while. Like you, I wish her well. Line Gauthier July 19, 2025 at 8:02 PM yes, it happens ~ people go their own way. All is well in the world...
