I Didn'T

i When you sought after my attention didn't I find time for you? When you opened up your heart to me didn't I close my mouth for you? When you were weak and losing hope didn't I give strength to you? When you were low on your provisions didn't I break bread for you? ii When people didn't want to touch you didn't I reach out to you? When many had reason to doubt you didn't I still vouch for you? When accusers knocked at your door didn't I answer for you? When all your foes began to attack didn't I fight them with you? iii When I noticed you needed guidance didn't I give advice to you? When it was clear that you'd become lost didn't I look out for you? When I sensed you doubted yourself didn't I re-assure you? And when I was hurt by your actions didn't I soon forgive you? iv But... When I faltered and became taboo did I see your face? I didn't. When I crumbled and needed support did I feel your embrace? I didn't. When I wanted to hear "How are you?" did I hear your voice? I didn't. So when you ponder why I killed our friendship, I hope you realise... I didn't. Mike Concise www.MikeConcise.com
