How Could I Not See? Poem by Tia BraveBull Bredeson

I start to cry
wanting my eyes to dry
But I just can't stop
Im in trouble with the cops
Because i committed a crime
having to pay a fine
I should've seen the signs
Showing she wasn't strong
Not able to keep her mouth shut
Now I have to hang
with a different crew
I was a fool
for believing she was my friend
but in the end
She stabbed me in the back
I thought her heart wasn't that black
But i guess
She put up a fake front
Acting like she was punked
How Could I Not See! ! ! ?
The Real Her
