Ode to a friend


Going through a couple of things I came across a couple of letters that in better times you had sent me.

How did we get here?

How do we forget the past?

What happened?

Was it him? Did he get between us?

Was it them? The plots you later learnt of?

Was it insecurity? Could it not have been voiced?

Was it selfishness on my part? Could I not have noticed your silence?

I do this a lot…I have already done this

Truth be told? I am glad that we parted when and as we did. I’m wiser 

In future I’ll not go down this road. Not for friendship,out of fear, for my faith, for another friend. The thing is: I was right about you, I had read you right to begin with.

so goodbye

…….. friend
