A Friend Long Lost Poem by Seema Aarella

Though our acquaintance was brief
And we shared just a little view
And now we share a lifelong grief
U had changed, like it’s not new

Innocent look, a bad mind unseen
I fell for the fancy words you spoke
Promises and presents lovely and preen
But my very trust you broke

Gifted I thought for having a friend
And swelled with pride of knowing you
My little joy ride had met its end
For good people are rare and few

I still trust the people I meet
Hoping to find a lost morality
A friend flawless and sweet
Of all good and genuine quality
