Manipulated
ManipulatedViolated
Used and abused
That's how you left me feeling
All sorts of emotions left unreeling
Why did you say what you did?
We were never more than friends
Yet people believed you
They wouldn't believe me
I never saw you in that way
What did you hope to achieve?
Betrayed
Is how you made me feel
Our friendship was what was real
My feelings were never stronger
Yet now the distance between
Is getting even longer
One chance
Is what I'm giving
To right the wrong you've done
If not
Then I can't see a way
For us to be friends from today

I like your pure truthfulness.
I wish more people communicated like this.
I know this feeling from your side. Also, in a way, I know it from the other side. I'm always honest, but some poems I wrote some time ago about a friend I cared for as more than a friend cost me that friend. I never said he felt that way about me, of course, or tried to manipulate him or anything like that, but I think I still caused a feeling similar to this without realizing it. I still think about that error daily. I'll never forgive myself or adjust to the loss of that friend.
This sort of writing is important. No frills, buckets of meaning, very human.
I like it.
