Fragility

He was an intimate friend for years We shared times so good and so bad Stood steadfast always for each other His visible liking for me made me glad. When his life treated him real rough I helped unsolicited all the way through Thought for him that was good enough In dire times what a friend should do. Sometime later when I got seriously sick Needed help of someone I deemed close Wanted my friend to be by my side quick But the time he said he would choose. Sadly he didn’t show his face ever again His behavior bamboozled me awhile Let down confused I failed to ascertain Why human relations are so very fragile. November 11, 2018
