A Friend of Yours

A friend of yours Be what it may Can I hear your words and believe they are truth Dare I think any different Erratic thoughts do cause turmoil Frantically I search your eyes Give me reason to be comforted High in the rational segment of my mind I choose to not see the emptiness in your eyes Just tell me one more time that I am the one Keep me from thinking what I think Love me as you did when it was so new Move the thoughts from my troubled head No I no longer feel it is me but her Ode to a love affair is this what I write next Portraits of a loving day have cracked Quintessential love went fluttering through the night Rustling fallen leaves Somewhere in time I felt it was real Torrential rains have fallen in this season Unknowingly I simply opened my umbrella to let it pass Victory would not prove to be mine this time Weathered from the cold I decide to let go Xiphoid crushes under the hands that attempt to revive me You move forward with new unshattered portraits Ziplock the remains of my heart
