Old Friend

The man looked at the other with a gripping smile. The other man simply stared A year long since they've seen their file. Only recognized through what they cared A time of respect was not called for They simply said hello They could've talked about when they were poor But the day was cold and the feeling was hollow They reached their riches They succeeded throughout dark times They ended up spoiling b****** For a simple thing can be turned to simple rhymes. A day has gone by since their recognition The man lost his enthusiasm for reaching the other And with that, they both lost friendly position But the other man was not a friend or brother, He became what the happy man dreaded. An unforgiving enemy With no respect being credited. A sad life it was, but it was not yours nor mine, it was simply a elusive scene.
