The poem is short but profound! A well deserved honour to have been selected as the 'Classic Poem of the Day'!

Because your voice was at my side I gave him pain, /// sometimes some voices, some words, some writings reluctantly hurt others severe more than killing//

Who was a friend one day has changed into a stranger this time. This is so sad that pain is noticed. We feel emotion of this condition. Still friendship is well felt. An amazing poem is excellently penned..5 stars..

This is a much better poem than the 6.2 rating given by the 21 voters so far.

Ouch! That hurts, to lose a friend just because of competition for a woman. One must decide which is more important and let the chips fall where they may. Much sentiment conveyed by James Joyce in this short poem.
