The End of a Friendship

I should have been careful to whom I chose as a friend,

because this person stabbed me with a knife, intentionally

but yet carelessly.

I should have listened to my own gut feeling,

but I was blind by the desire to be wanted, and yet

I’m blaming myself endlessly.

I should have known the person in front of me,

but I wanted to believe the good in him.

Maybe I was too naive, stupid to be exact –

I’ve learned my lesson, I’ll never forget.
