with disingenuous, frozen smiles
these callous beings
set out to destroy my faith in friends
far apart geographically
both had crazy husbands
and the same insecurities
how did i pick identical personas
these two made from the same stock
who claimed to have my back
professing their love for me
they left when i needed them
never knowing how to apologize
for years i was in the dark
intimacy took a hit
lesson learned
A betrayal is hard to bear but indifference is worse. Apathy when you need support and sympathy is by far the greater injury!

It does hurts a lot when friends ( so called) betray our trust.

It may be better to be bitter than sweet,
But better yet, be bittersweet —
For bitter is as bitter does….
And better left where bitter was.
