Dilemma.

Choices to move:

You ignored the left, 

And avoided bereft,

But choosing right,

Faced a solitary night.

To a meal you said you would attend,

But abandoned for a promise you said you'd tend.

Why put yourself in a dilemma when you knew,

The commitment required, before the night was due?

Why make yourself a name for shame,

When you knew the rules to play the game?

I'm sorry friends, I said too much,

I shouldn't have agreed to meet,

Just to let you down, not being around,

To not disappoint another party;

These, tonight, have left me guilty.
