Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

Scorn

sorry she exposed her vulnerability
she’s getting the cold shoulder
recognizing it all too well
totally undeserved

it upsets her mostly since
she’s guilty of it herself
on someone in her past
who didn’t deserve it either

and she’s sorry
but won’t make amends
she sucks it up full circle
would rather live with the guilt

Andrea Dietrich June 16, 2019 at 11:28 AM wow, full circle. Sad that some people can't make amends! Line Gauthier June 16, 2019 at 11:39 AM Yes. Sad indeed, Andrea.

Richard Lamoureux June 16, 2019 at 7:13 AM This rings true. I’m sure all can relate in one way or another. Line Gauthier June 16, 2019 at 11:39 AM Thanks for your much appreciated visit and comment, Richard.

Connie Marcum Wong June 15, 2019 at 5:44 PM This sounds like someone I know very well who is a part of my life. Pride keeps them from admitting their faults. I can certainly relate. Well said! : ) Line Gauthier June 15, 2019 at 7:12 PM Yes there is always one around, Connie.

Caren Krutsinger June 14, 2019 at 9:10 PM This is so true, Line, I have been there myself: "it upsets her mostly since she’s guilty of it herself on someone in her past" Wonderful! Line Gauthier June 14, 2019 at 9:12 PM Thanks for your much appreciated visit and comment, Caren.
