Richard Lamoureux Poet Terzanelle

Fairwell Fairweather Friend

I thought he was a friend and I was wrong.
We seemed inseparable so much time spent.
When troubled times came it was a new song.

I do know that true friends are heaven sent.
To me friendship is a really big deal
We seemed inseparable so much time 

I am not sure how I'm suppose to feel
This is a kind of hurt that cuts real deep
To me friendship is a really big deal

In my mind there are memories I keep
I expected him to always be here
This is a kind of hurt that cuts real deep

Friends are like our reflections in the mirror
We need them to see who we really are
I expected him to always be here

True friends are friends wether near or far
We need them to see who we really are
I thought he was a friend and I was wrong
When troubled times came it was a new song

Heather Ober April 23, 2013 at 7:34 AM This is very sad... It's heart wrenching when a friendship ends this way. You penned it beautifully. I also wanted to thank you for your comment on my poem "25." You really made my day with those sweet words. Anyone would be so lucky to have a friend like you, Rick! Richard Lamoureux April 23, 2013 at 7:39 AM Thanks Heather, that is a very nice thing to say. When it comes to friends I have been very blessed. I am sure you have been as well, I can feel the warmth in your personality and writing.

Timothy Hicks April 22, 2013 at 10:07 AM It's sad to find people that only tag along when things are fun... and when the crap hits the fan, they act like they don't even know you. You are really tackling a lot of angles on friendships as of late! Keep it up :) Richard Lamoureux April 23, 2013 at 7:40 AM Kudos to Becca
