Messed Up

I messed up big time
I lost my best friend
I broke the rules, committed the crime
It wasn't supposed to happen but I messed up in the end
So distance I'll keep
Tail tucked and hiding in shadows
More restless than ever I'll sleep
Silently hoping my flower still grows
I'll watch where I can
I wont ever impose
I'll still adore you my whole lifespan
I'll still hope you bloom to a beautiful rose
Just know it's ok if you never forgive me
It's ok if you even forget the memories of us
But never forget someone cares about how you'll be
Someone will always see you as a plus
Grow on however you must my little flower

This reads as if the speaker committed the ultimate sin of friendship... having a sexual relationship with his/her friend’s partner or spouse. I suppose that came to mind because I saw this happen.

The pain never ends on either side, and so sad for all because not only is the friendship destroyed but the marriage or relationship of two others, and loss of trust in all. A tragic result, regardless the players, and you captured that so well in this poem.

It's a really complicated story in its entirety but the compliment to my writing cheers me up just a little, thank you!

You’re welcome. Sometimes the interpretation is less important than the poetic quality. :)
