Goodbye, Former Friend Poem by Belle Wassermeister

Goodbye, Former Friend

Rating: 5.0

Goodbye, my former friend;
I fear this is the end.
I thought if you were wise,
you would apologize.
It's such a simple thing,
and doesn't hardly sting.
But too much time has passed,
so you can kiss my
friendship goodbye.

Sorry that you have to go through this, Belle. I too have lost some friends for no apparent justifiable reason. That's when it hurts the most! Excellent poem!

Excellent work! I laughed out loud at the implied, unfinished rhyme at the end. To my favorites and five stars!

Dear Ron, thank you. Did you know that HE also added this poem to HIS favorites? Yet he will not apologize.

It can take me along time too, to finally see the truth. I think many can relate to this...

Sometimes I wonder why relationships are so ephemeral but then isn't life itself so transient? Sad reality!

Remorse and Forgiveness both are prized virtues. But most of us hesitate to develop and use.
