Confusion Dies

(Acrostic)
Can't you see me I'm right here
Once so close now no where near
Never thought it'd end like this
Friendship tossed in the abyss
Underneath this steel facade
Sadly confused on I plod
In a door then out once more
Only time has made us quit
Not at once but bit by bit

Doors I dare open to peek
Invite light of hope I seek
Excited that this is why
Shadows of confusion die

Thanks Cheryl! Very astute observation actually. I wrote the first part quite a while ago but thought it was way too dark. Recently I added the "dies" part to "kill off" the first part and ironically make it more "upbeat"....anyway I do appreciate the comment............80).........Pat
