The way I felt was the way I wrote... not everyone is truly a close friend.

On this day my soul turn dark,
No love to hold me back,
The only one i truly cared about,
Ripped me to pieces with a wide smile,
I'm at a cross road,
Hoping i die in the middle,
I bleed from both sides,
By the ones i held tight to my left heart,
I curse myself,
It cant be more than the worst I've felt,
Realisation enlightens me,
I was too loose with the secrets i kept,
Thought it was a burden shared,
Now i know it was only a friend who didnt care,
I hate thee not,
For survival is the only thing that will free us,
So we cheat whoever trys to please us,
By feeding on their strength to make it through,
Assuming they will do the same thing too,
If life is truly a circle,
Then we should carefully watch our back,
I hibernate from the world,
Giving you all the space you want,
I hope we don't meet again,
So i dont remember the day of past pain.

[Hilario Alves]

I can relate to this poem and i thank you for writing it. This poem are the words i wish i could say to the person that i have loved the most and has hurted me the most. You became one of my favourite poets most of the things you write are very relatable to me.

[Olumegbon]

I'm really flattered, thanks alot friend... I really do appreciate

[Mai L Nissen]

Sorry about this bad experience! You capture images of torment, moment of almost disbelief of what has occurred, and the betrayal and disappointment felt by the protagonist with a genuine expression. A bitter-sweet lesson... As reader you get a feel that the protagonist will keep moving forward, though with a hardened view of people.

beautifully explained... thanks for reading, i appreciate.

Very sad poem and indeed we are sometimes hurt by our best friends. It hurts the more knowing it comes from them who we trusted and loved at some point. Thanks for sharing. :) Rudi

[wordman]

that`s the way it goes my friend,someone is always ready to betray you

[Olumegbon]

I know right, thanks alot.

Olumegbon: To be betrayed is enlightening but no less hurtful shocking our senses. We want to believe in humanity and kindness but find ourselves off balance when people we trust betray us. Especially as you write someone who we thought truly cared. This is wonderful writing, very well expressed- Some of my favorite lines:
Ripped me to pieces with a wide smile,

Hoping i die in the middle,
I bleed from both sides,
By the ones i held tight to my left heart,
I curse myself, (& we also blame ourselfs, no?) Thank you so much....Dale

The poem is powerful my friend.
"For survival is the only thing that will free us,
So we cheat whoever trys to please us,
By feeding on their strength to make it through,
Assuming they will do the same thing too,
If life is truly a circle, "
When survival is the goal. We forget concern and kindness. The poem open the door to a long conversation. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry my friend.
