Poem #2

This poem is about a real life event that could only be expressed via poem! I also submitted it into Chicken Soup!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and it really doesnt have a name.... there are so many that i've thought of..... i'll just call it
Just A Dirty War
It was last year
And we became friends
But in a flash
It came to an end

You may ask why
But it's not that easy
Because she lied
Oh how sleazy

She had us fooled
Eating out of her hand
What should I do?
Should I take a stand?

I wasn’t alone
Though it seems unfair
I didn’t think then
I just didn’t care

We sit in the office
Her, Gabby and I
Wondering what to say
Just wondering why

I start having doubts
“Will she tell the truth?”
She better start now
Cause we have proof

The councilor walks in
She asks to start
As I tell my side
Hoping I sound smart

All of her lies
About to unfold
She starts to cry
Hey she was told!

Gabby goes next
This story again
More of the truth
I could go insane

When Gabby is done
And the story is told
She begins hers
It’s sounding so old

Speaking through tears
Sounds so very hard
Like writing a poem
Or simply helping a bard

The councilor speaks
But only for a little
Trying to get our story
Beginning, end and middle

She says she is sorry
But can I believe it?
Lying so much
It just doesn’t fit

We say out goodbyes
Leaving not as friends
Just as we were
Up to the end

It wasn’t right of her
To lie like that
But was it right
To make that attack

Now I think no
But then I thought yes
I should not have put
Her through that mess

We can’t be friends
And I’m fine with that
But this crown on my head
Is going flat

I want to apologize
I want to say sorry
But Evalyn and me
We broke off to harshly

My story ends here
But yours still may start
If this happens to you
Please, listen to your heart

Lying is wrong
We’ve all heard it before
Don’t let this happen to you
It’s just a dirty war
