twisted sister

Not the band.

twisted sister,
you were
so much
more than
a friend ...

my life
knotted tight
with betrayal
wreckage strewn
around me,
jagged shards
jutting out
of my
spurting heart ...

you could
have left
it at
goodbye but
chose to
sever ties
and burn
the ends ...


now you
are free
to pursue
your dream --
self immolation.

You sure can burn your poems into my mind. Sisters can be like that. Powerful piece. xo :)

As can ex best friends who were surrogate sisters.

[Madalyn Beck]

Very true. Any sister - not just blood.

[David Scott]

I'm # give of six children... I have three twisted sisters... Ha.
Funny and too true.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

such a tragic thing when really close friendships end...especially when it is by someone who completely burns the bridges...

Yes, it really is. I never was one to completely burn every bridge. Some people just work that way I guess.

Ouch again, you sure do know how to sear your point into our minds....which were you, Thelma or Louise, not the first time this has happened, human nature I suppose...burn baby burn.

Thanks, I actually know now why I stopped writing on paper. If I write on paper, I forget it if I lose the paper. Almost had a nervous break down when I thought I washed the darned thing. I am not sure, I think I am a little Thelma and Louise both, but I am still hurting purrty bad some days.

Egads what's worse than losing a piece you've written, it never comes to mind the same way when you try to rewrite it....I know, the pain lingers when it comes to this kind of betrayal.
