Bitter Friend

A glass filled with the luxury

Of self-solace--

My best and most bittersweet friend

Your company betrays me

Into the tepid night.

You bruise my eyes

And I find that I am still alone.

[Ed Hart]

the slow awakening peels from us the layers of deceit and error until we are alone at the center of everything, and there is nothing left to betray us...it is an unmatchable and unending solace

[EMMIE]

SO SAD. SO BEAUTIFULLY SAID. AND SO TRUE. SOMETHING WE CAN ALL RELATE TO AT ONE POINT OF OUR LIFE.

[Kenneth The Poet]

Isn't that the stark, beautiful truth? Lovely short piece of work, Audrey.

[Hayley]

This is the perfect combination of bittersweet words, soft but mournful. Great write!

[Tate Morgan]

This is the saddest thing I have seen in a long time beautifully penned

[Shep]

I find I am still a lone. So do I every day after a date.

[WindSong]

Charming and outright beautiful! Wonderful word usage, imagery and presentation delivered.

oh my goodness! Audrey this is wonderful!

[FJ Davis]

Truth elegantly told.
A bit of the literate blues, sweetly sung
Righteous, Audrey!
