A False Friend Poem by Elia Michael

A False Friend

Rating: 4.5


I really thought you a friend.
I thought you were spun by the gods.
A golden thread to help mend
My broken heart against all odds.

I really thought you a friend.
I see you glistening like gold,
And when I think you’ll extend
Your help, you are just so, so cold.

You are this thing they call hope.
You are supposed to be my friend
And help me to better cope
With my life right up to the end.

But I see you’re a false friend.
I realise this now I’m old.
You deceive me and pretend
To help me, but you’re a fool’s gold.

Hello Elia, Nicely expressed. I think we all have a false friend or two. They are the unlucky ones. Thank you and keep smiling
