I’m a bundle of mixed-up
Emotions, a stretch of feelings,
Gratefulness at one end and
Disappointment at the other.
How could a friend do that to me?
How could I let myself be treated
That way? Were we ever friends
At all? The maddening questions
Twirl and twirl in my head, creating
Scenarios and reasonings for what
The other person did and how I
Should have responded, but I didn’t.
