Curious, you open an email from an old acquaintance. You haven't heard from them for some years, and you didn't part on the best of terms. You stare in disbelief...you have been cursed! What is the message/curse (140 words or less)?

Subject: In remembrance of days past

Once we shared our secrets dark
Knowing we would never part
Guessing not they would leave a mark
On one young heart.

We grew older, taller, bolder
From gangly girls to winsome women
Boys, once to whom we gave a cold shoulder
Now we swooned and dreamed over

One young man quite well I know
Oh, so tall and dark and handsome
We did both watch him walk and though
Both watched, but could have him only one

Friendship turned to worthless rust
When after a man's caresses you did lust
You broke all trust
And now your happiness is dust.
