Stabbed From Behind: A Poem
I know you with smiles and sayings of affection
I call you as a friend
we go through time together joy and sorrow
laughter adorns the relationship of mutual trust
when you get hurt I feel sick
when you are happy I feel happy
when there are tears in your eyes
I hold and give a soft backrest
when you lose and get worse
I stand forward in front
become a strong protection wall
like a brother, even though not one mother
I then began to be busy with dreams and beautiful fantasies
then forget to greet you and give a smile
never ask for news again
What happened?
All that is the beginning.
we are like split fruit
giving a different sweet taste to anyone who wants
I have been enjoyed and you are left to rot
think I'm enjoying this life myself.
I am the friend you consider your opponent
then you pierce me with words of jealousy
mounting envy
make us stay away from each other.
I accept for you to stab repeatedly with pain
pain that I only think of myself.
the pain of betrayal for misunderstanding
I accept for you to stab if I don't know
do not know that this wound is by you
a sore wound because my love is so great
love that is born as a form of respect
love that is born as a fruit of the past struggle.
I accept until you realize and deliver
I'm hurt because you stabbed, you stabbed me from behind.
