Poetry: Mistakes

by Alicia Sloley

Created on: July 29, 2010




You think you know someone but that's not always so

It's not always the true face that they show

A friend I thought, but that was not to be

Just someone who was using me


I really thought they were a friend of mine

But you realize you were only useful for a time

Then when they are back up on there feet

They treat you as if a stranger they pass in the street


You will find there are two types of people you will meet in life

Ones who eat with spoons and ones who eat with a fork and knife

Spoons are an easy way of eating quickly and takes little time

Eating with a knife and fork takes longer and is more refined


Through your journey of life you will find

You will meet many of these types from time to time

The spoon is a friendship which is quick and will come to past

The knife and fork is a friendship which takes time and lasts
