Friends were expected to lend a helping hand

The feeling was great and the occasion made
Set to be settled not in a meek way unsolicited
When it was an enduring faith to right a mistake
But why must there be a quaint feeling of hurt

Abandoned in a groove of failed assertions
Lamenting luckless nights dodging with his skills
Out of the rut for a reasonably stable outcome
Determined to clamber back onto an even keel

To extend support aligned to their knowledge
Friends were expected to lend a helping hand
But not the best of times to be so privileged
Karma was having a field day to exact payment

  2. I wonder if tit for tat really works... maybe there were no friendship if it's based on balance sheets.

  5. "Abandoned in a groove of failed assertions"
    So much meaning in this line....it's a stand alone, actually.
    And yes, Karma shall have its day!
