Tell, tell me how,
I’ve offended your being.
How I could impact you so.
When I don’t even know you.
Tell, tell me how,
Your betrayal is my fault.
How my trust is lacking.
For helping one in need.
Tell, tell me how,
I’m supposed to feel, and react.
When I’m being questioned.
When the trust I take pride in, is forgotten.
Tell, tell me how,
You can put down your teacher.
I put my hearts and soul into teaching you.
How can you accept the life I taught.
Tell, tell me how,
Irrational thoughts are suddenly your reality.
You refused the simple truths.
Now you’re paying the price.
Tell, tell me how,
I’m supposed to rely on you.
Stand by your side and defend you.
When you won’t do the same for me.

Tell me - medium poem
This poem has come from a recent issue that has sprouted between myself and a new friend. I won't go into detail or anything, but this problem has deeply hurt me. I can only hope things between this person and I can get smoothed out and we all move on with our lives. I wrote this on 1/1/2017.

Whatever happened between you two, I hope you manage to smooth things out.
It's great to see you off to a flying start by the first day of the year, but the poem is so personal that it's diffcult to interpret.
I'm kind of stuck on "How can you accept the life I taught."
It's an interesting line, but it reads as if you teach something that is not to be followed.
I don't know if it's intentional, but some of the lines seem paired up timewise, so that
you have one line in past tense, the next in present, or one line in present, the next in future tense.
This makes for a great read (even if unintentional ^_^)
The line you quoted is personal and unique to the situation. It refers to the fact that I taught this person about Spiritual Satanism. It's something important to me and something they claim to be into as well, but if you can't trust your teacher then how can you take what they've taught you to heart. That's where the line comes from. :P
It wasn't intentional. To me it worked, so that's how it happened. I honestly didn't notice it too much myself. Haha. I'm glad it made for a good read. ^_^
