Such a betrayal was this:
That your fast friendships
Overwrote years of promise, sacrifice, love
Your quick fixes and sober thirst for escape
Kept you trapped, stuck fast, held soft, not firm
I hope you realized the advice you canvassed
It still seems you don’t know whose to follow
Your own untrustworthy tongue clamped
by repression and a determination to omit truth
