Endless

and I 

have always been the one

to be the friend I would love to have

good times or not

I am there

and yet

who is there for me?

no one.

it never changes

no, not a bit

seasons come and go

their stories all the same

stepping stones to another place

crying in the pain...

Personally, I find alone time very important. The space between action and ongoing thoughts is where my creative ideas are born. However, if solidarity is thrust upon us due to negative circumstances the shortcomings can adversely effect one's relationship with ourself. I found a sadness in your write, which is relatable to low moments I've experienced; thus the composition and structure of your wonderful piece succeeds in it's message to the reader! Well done my friend ...

Hello Phil,

Thank you for your time and comments. I do agree with you that time alone is very important for a multitude of reasons, the least of which is to simply be able to think in peace...

Also it's a great time to be...

.. in the moment.

That being said, this one was basically a sad reflection of some types of friendships and relationships, even though they didn't start out that way.

And what do you do, when at some point in time... the realization hits you? Like that proverbial ton of bricks?

The answer is obvious, yet not as easy to implement in the reality.

I will be by soon.

and sometimes i think we are the kind of people who want to be there for others, but shy away from burdening others with our problems...we are hesitant to reach out---
but yes, as you state in the poem...one sided-friendships...well, they usually don't last so long.

Thank you j,

I wonder why it is sometimes that we can be blinded by the most obvious...

Yes, one-sided never works...

I will be by soon.

Dear Alisa. We will have few real friends. Sometime life take away our old friends. We must keep in contact with and ensure we are not forgotten. I understand this poem. I work and work. Little time for old friends and fun. Thank you for sharing your poetry and thoughts.

Hello Coyote,

Thank you for stopping by. I agree with you in that in life, our true friends are far and few between. Each genuine friend is like a treasure...

... and makes up for the others who pretend.

I will be by soon.
