Headstall's Poetry Prompts - 20. Chapter 20 Poetry Prompt 4- Pain and Promise

Oh Gary, this is so sad. I fairly sure I know where this is coming from and well, I hope you will send it to him once he's ready to read it.
It gave me the shivers this poem, it's honest, and sad, and horrible but there's a lil hope and lots of love too.
Hope he's doin ok.

Despite the pain and sadness that defines this poem, there is still love and hope Gary, I'm sending a to your friend, I hope he turns that loss into a win.

Like Tim, I hope you give your friend this poem one day, thanks for the poem Gary

Your friend is a lucky man to have you in his corner. Sometimes just knowing someone is out there who loves you and you can talk to can be enough to pull you through the really bad times. I wish your friend well and hope that his friends can help him through the rough times ahead.

Although your friend's relationship is tainted by betrayal, it will hopefully give him some comfort to know that your friendship is still honest and true.

The situation is sad. Lots of remorse now, but more incidents have come to light. He's out of province, but I sent it to his email, and he got it. We had a couple of talks today. He's not doing well. I tried to be upbeat while recognizing his pain. He liked it. Thanks for reviewing, tim... cheers... Gary...

Just being there when you are needed is a salve to the soul.

Beautiful words telling a painful tale but with hope on the horizon.

It isn't the first time we've relied on each other... thanks for the understanding. I don't understand why this happened. Appreciate the support... cheers... Gary...

There is one line I kept coming back to: Turn on lights where shadows loom.
You comprised the essence of friendship there, in my opinion. That is what real friends do for each other.
I hope you can keep spreading rays of sunshine when your friend needs them and wish him all the best with his recovery. I have no doubt your poem contributes to that.

Thank you, Peter. Such a wonderful review. He said he liked the poem, but he's in a zombie kind of phase right now. He has decided to spend the weekend with family that live near me, which is great. He would be doing the same for me... well except for the poem part. Thanks for pointing out that line. You made it special to me... cheers, my friend... Gary...

Wow, right in the feels. 'Trapped in rain' is such a beautiful image, too.
