That Time on the Porch

Written for a friend that is no longer my friend.

Do you remember that time on the porch?

When we swore to cast off the chains that

bound us to sadness.

I haven’t seen you in months but

it seems like years since

we cried in each others arms that night.

And I’m trying my best to keep our promise

I wonder if you are

I hope you are.

I know there have been times when I clamped those shackles back onto my feet,

You called me your brother that day and I called you mine.

Yet I feel we have changed so drastically since than.

Please my friend remember that time on the porch!

When we embraced as two broken souls

trying to glue the pieces back together

with booze, cigarettes and tears.

And let’s break this silence that has grown

from the shame of broken promises.

Hey I am very glad you liked it. And yeah it seems to be a fact of life. It's never fun. But who knows maybe one day it will change. Cheers friend.
