Friendly

Friendly.

What stupor has besieged me
All my life
That is not my end now
Friendly?

Where was i when i needed you?
Off by myself, surrounded
Without your presence,
Friendly.

Did you not come from the inside
Of me? From my heart
That surrounded You
Friendly?

Friendly as it may be
It's a whole lot more
Than life besets me
Friendly. 

This crowding upon
Your fortified fortress.
Your requests forced by invaders
Not so friendly anymore.

What stupor has harried you
All this time
That is not your end now
Friendly?

Off by yourself, surrounded 
Without such proximity
No distress not even discouraged
Friendly?

A tempest assails me
Presses me with questions 
A senseless project without ease or poise
Friendly.

Did i not come from the inside
Of you? From your heart
Where you surrounded me
Friendly?
