Because your voice was at my side
I gave him pain,
Because within my hand I held
Your hand again.
There is no word nor any sign
Can make amend -- -
He is a stranger to me now
Who was my friend.
Ouch! That hurts, to lose a friend just because of competition for a woman. One must decide which is more important and let the chips fall where they may. Much sentiment conveyed by James Joyce in this short poem.
This is a nice poem. A sad one but a great write nonetheless! Thanks for sharing!

Because your voice was at my side I gave him pain, /// sometimes some voices, some words, some writings reluctantly hurt others severe more than killing//
Who was a friend one day has changed into a stranger this time. This is so sad that pain is noticed. We feel emotion of this condition. Still friendship is well felt. An amazing poem is excellently penned..5 stars..
