Last Visit To My Friend

I passed by to see you I knocked on your door but you Did not answer so I let myself in I thought you needed me but you Showed no kindness I sat there in your house after the long journey I felt thirsty but I feared to say so I thought you knew because I was a visitor But you did not care as I sat there Waiting for you to say something I felt hungry and choked by your Little words that hardly came through Your tight mouth in hashed tones I did not understand what you were feeling But I thought I was your friend. My stomach burned from hunger and When I left I vowed never to see you again. Did you wonder why I left my friend? Or did you wonder why I won’t visit again? Good bye my friend, because I was thirsty; You did not give me a drink I was hungry you refused to feed me I had problems weighing me down like a rock But you did not help me I needed so much of your kindness But you my friend had nothing to give So good bye my friend
