Final Words

How dare you do this to me?
Befriend me, take my secrets, store them away, then spread them wildly?

How can you live with yourself?
Made me trust you, confide in you, but now your emotions are hidden high on a shelf.

Couldn't you even be discreet?
Aren't you aware of the results of your treachery, your betrayal that led to deceit?

How can I ever restore trust?
When all I can feel about friendships and relationships, is a horrid and vile disgust?

Yet....

My anger will not have this control!
I will again find a friend whose morals I can one day praise and extol.

My pain will not smother!
I will heal, and one day soon I will be willing to confide in another.

Right now you may be pain free,
But one day you will be alone and friendless if you do not change - you'll see.

So my final words for you are not witty...
Because I no longer feel shock, anger, disgust, or dismay...for you I feel only pity.
