Double-Edged Knife Poem by Linda I. Weischedel

My mind and soul states that using is abusing,
I am now feeling that you have been
using and abusing my friendship
though the sad part is my loving heart is now losing.

You always tell me that you care,
but all along you knew your love could never be there,
me being on Cloud Nine,
I never seen it coming, rather my heart was so unaware,
now my life seems so unattached and painfully bare.

You really don't want me in the loving partner
part of you're life,
you never had thoughts of even making me
you're wife,
leading me to think so is now stabbing my heart with a
double-edged knife.

Now I sit and think what am I to do,
for I am still very much in love with you,
holding on to a dream that shall never come true.
