The Loss Of A Friend


I trusted you with my heart.
I gave all I had to give.
You took it all and ran.
Closed the door.
Leaving me crushed and broken.
I waited and waited for some word.
Some sign of forgiveness.
Some answers to the why, to the lie.
None came.
Waited for a friendship to be returned.
But the waiting went unanswered.
The door is left opened and the love and trust remains.
All it takes is an open hand.
I will always be here, waiting.


Friends I wrote this for a friend that left me after a year of friendship.She moved from the east coast to the west coast. No understanding from either of us, I am glad to say that she and I are now talking. The love is still there but the trust is a different matter. But at least we are working at it. Please if you have a problem with a friend never shut the door to forgiveness, leave it open a crack to have it pushed open wide again. I am glad I did.
