Notes About The Poem

''True Blue'' Is the Key

I have been fooled many times before,
               hurt, and had my heart ravaged to the core;
  sadly, I have learned not to trust,
    and said 'bye to friends with disgust.
See, the problem with me is that I believe,
I am loyal, forgiving, much too naive;
yet, the end of friendship makes me grieve.
      I put all my faith in a friend.
      on me they can always depend;
      and I will forever defend.
             But, no more chances-  three,
             fool me ONCE and you go into the sea;
now, only "true blue" is the key,
                   but, friends lost still make my tears pour.

Kim Rodrigues August 15, 2018 at 11:50 AM I grow friendship slow. Yet with full foliage, a storm might sweep it away. I was careful with my friendship and glad it still exists. Some I tried to carry and they just swam away. I love this book I read called “Girlfriends” It spoke of different friendships. A hug for you as close as the touch of key. Love it by the way!!
