I feel the pain.
“If I didn’t, my tears would dry faster than the ink from this simple pen. If I knew better, I would perfectly arrange in order and sequence my sorrows into a perfect, long page; with rhythm and life so that they are forever a song in your heart and mind. But I won’t do that.”
“If I could I would simply spew my feelings and thoughts on this page; erratically and with such great force that the world will feel and share the pain I am feeling today. I have never mastered the art of fighting a dear friend or ally, nor cause hurt to those that I love and have always held in high regard. I will do what I know best, and that is to write. If I wanted, each word on this page will stand as a tear shed over the pain you have brought to my heart. As these tears and words would fall into place, one by one, to form this heartfelt letter I sincerely would love to dedicate to you, just know that they are invisible to the world. Only I can feel the warm twinge that is vested in them, as I draw them back into my heavy eyes. I just realized, as of now, that you are not really worth my effort and time right now on. So, I reluctantly rest my case.”
I know most of you might be surprised where all this comes from. Let’s just say it’s one of those days were everything becomes clearer. Those days when you realize that the people you have called friends over the years have turned out to be something totally opposite and alien to what you had in mind.
If I was a robot; or better yet an alien, with no feelings whatsoever, I would scribble and type endlessly till my fingers go numb. I would throw every slur or insult I have come to know since my entry in this world, and only hope that the power is not cut off nor run out of pages to write on while I’m still at it. But unfortunately, I am a human being. All I can do is humble myself and retreat to a solitary berth where I will feed and dine on this plate of affliction until it’s all gone and not a single bone nor fragment remains as a reminder of such betrayal.
Love your chosen ones, dear friends, and never turn your back on them. If there is a single sign of animosity or dishonesty between the two of you, talk it through. You will be shocked the kind of results that you get. Spreading lies and running for deceit behind your friends back will never bring peace but rather, it will cause more harm than good. Trust me, building a relationship or friendship is one of the hardest things in life, but no matter what the situation, never opt for short-lived associations with a few of your newly made acquaintances to replace the relationship with a true friend, that you’ve nurtured with your mate over the years. You need him/her and they need you all the same.
Till next time, Dear friends…
