Did that work out?

At last your hidden agenda came to me and it hit like a ton of bricks!

My niave trustworthy nature made me oblivous to your deceitful and disrespectful tricks.

You are the one in whom I felt comfortable enough to confide.

Your ears felt like a safe place for me to talk to and set my ego aside.

Who would have known that your story was written well before my birth.

In 1972 the O'jays warned the world about people like you and later allowed me to reinsert my worth.

Yeah your smile blinded me to the depths of which your deceict would go.

I had no idea you would reveal yourself to be a back stabber because I truly considered you my bro.

Yes you definitely smiled in my face knowing all the time you wanted to take my place.

Now a days just the thought of you immediately places an permanent frown on my face.

You pursued what I thought was mines relentlessly and even had the nerves to try to recruit my help.

Your deceit hurt me so bad my emotions felt foreign because that level of anger is like something I had never felt.

In retrospect, I lowkey appreciate you for later finally coming clean.

You allowed me to remember the importance of loosely labeling anyone as a true friend and what actions over words truly means!

But word to the wise, you better be careful if you ever try that the same tactics of stepping on someone else's toes!

The world has a way of eventually returning karma when you least expect it; when or where it will happen GOD only knows.

My self love and confidence allowed me to be a gentleman once I realized you had played in my face.

Because I knew you did not act alone, he was a willing particpant; now I consider you both a discrace.

I have moved on in life and learned what my true priorities are all about.

Ironically now ya'll both are constantly viewing my progress but still as single men, so my question to you is, how did trying to take my place work out?

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Being a gay man  taught me the impotance of not revealing too many details of my intimacy with any of my love interests, especially to other gay men, and especially if any of those friends have expressed any thoughts and compliments on my potential love interest, even casually.
