With the absence
Of feelings so
Are the absence
Of words I
Am nothing more
Than a steel
Drum expressing the
Tinniest and whiniest
Of heart beats
But soon I
Will again be
The tympani of
New found love
Deep resonant full
Category: Friendship
Forget
The only reason
That memories of
You still hurt
Is because I
Haven’t made any
New ones with
Him yet not
That I’ve met
Him either but
I know that
I will just
Like I know
That I will
Forget you then
DragonDawn
I so enjoy
The hour before
Dawn when night
Is deeply dark
And thick with
Sleep when all
Except the truly
Courageous remain bedded
Those strong with
Hope take arms
And slay the
Night into morning
Watching it fall
From the sky
Like a dragon
OneHitWonders (to bean)
In the story
Of us there’s
No happy ending
No happily ever-after
You and I
Are simply a
Fade to black
And roll credits
As our friends
Quietly shuffle away
Entertained and sad
By our non-ending
Ending wondering if
There might be
A sequel but
Both of us
Are already committed
To new projects
You and I
One hit wonders
TheyAlwaysDo
With each chat
Each new secret
I plant seeds
Of possibility that
I water with
Affection and interest
Compassion and kindness
Watching my field
Of acquaintances grow
Into a forest
Of friends amongst
Which I hide
When the world
Eventually frightens me
Because it does
And they do
They always do
