Sitting on the sofa,
talking with my date
at my friend’s party, and her
his ex-girl, who I’d asked to bring
fearing I’d offend. He insisted.
I should. They were finished.
What a friend
I felt like I loved her then
and was so involved, focused,
I lost track of time and place.
Minutes passed. They might
have been hours until at last
I leaned in to kiss her.
Lips. Soft, warm, slowly parting,
drawing me in.
Then applause
from my dear friend,
who, jealous, decided to mock me.
My dear friend with a need
to humiliate, shock me
in front of our peers,
all our other friends.
The clapping thundered,
and cheering began
I wanted to vanish,
never see them again,
but I watched as if from above
at that poor boy, and cried for his pain
at such a cruel jest,
having been so naive, and trusting
his friend, only to be betrayed
at a kiss in the end.

duddle146over 17 years agoIs there real joy ~ in the humiliation of a friend? In the end ~ no one wins.
LeBrozover 17 years agoAt the time it happens
It's a truly cruel thing;
But when looking back years later
See your friend for the sad creature he was.
doormousealmost 20 years agoI couldn't vote on this one. I would have given it a five.
DeJaVu. Been there done that. It all came back.
Thanks for the memories ;-)
