POETRY - Dedicated to you....Wherever you are...

Friend

I was the one you would turn to
When your world was turned
upside-down
But now
You’re never around
And you leave me
On the outside
Waiting
Contemplating

I thought I was
Your best friend
The one on whom
You could depend
You said we’d fight this fight
Till the bitter end
So I can’t comprehend
Why when I extend myself
You don’t turn back
You say it’s cause you don’t know how to act
And you didn’t know how
I’d react
But it seems to me
You can’t face the fact
That I’m always your friend…
