Thank you Frankie!! I'm so happy that you were able to see the hurt I was feeling- and in reality when we are hurt at such a deep level,. and a 'friend' shows their true colors, we DO use profanity. On that note, I do NOT use profanity in most of my poems/songs. Not because I'm a prude, but because I have a comfort zone...I stepped out of it on this piece (with the help of Doug) and took a leap! And in this world if you don't take chances you'll never become anything but mediocre...and I'm not a 'mediocre' kind of person...thank you again for your candid feedback and I DID NOTICE in your critique that you used alliteration....beautiful!
