Two Offended Too Mend It

I don’t know how but I messed things up with you 
funny thing is you messed it up too 
I could tell you things about you 
you could tell me things I do 

Let’s be honest it’s too late to be honest 
waited too long now 
what was wrong has gone 

two men couldn’t mend a friendship because two men got offended 

Both eager to talk their own angle both too angry to hear and help handle 

both reeling their own problems there’s no seeing beyond them 

conversations nope,
confrontation, smoke dope 
passing situations
so friendship wasn’t broke

Sober up alone 
more confusion 
stress prone 
collision as both prioritise their own but never be addressed 
suppressed

no sorry would fly 
both think why? 
needing each other on side
best friends for life 
denied 

put those inward questions 
outward would have never said goodbye
