My Enemy

I cannot explain
All the grief and sorrow
I feel about you
You used to be my friend
But now you come towards me
As my enemy
I said one thing
And now
You hate me
Giving me
The cold shoulder
You were all I had left
You were my only friend
And now I lost you
I don’t know what to do
You have other friends
I don’t
Every time I see you
My heart
Just becomes
A cold stone
I feel nothing
When I see you
Except pure hatred
And anger
So my old friend
You are now
My enemy

I've been in this place, Allison. However, we made up after a year or so, then our friendship was stronger than ever. What it took was humbling myself and asking forgiveness, as well as giving her forgiveness in return. Don't give up hope! Hugs, Donna

I sense a feeling of betrayal being expressed in this write. Well done and from the heart I believe. As the saying goes "keep your friends close and your enemies closer."
