The Argument

when friendship sours ...

When did you become
This thorn in my side?
This ganglion
Buried deep in my gut?

When did you begin to scrutinize

Flagellate and fillet
Why this sudden need to cut?

When will you start to face
I'm not who I used to be?
Does that really matter
Why can't you talk to me?

F**k! Do I need an Alma Mater
To indulge in daily chatter?
I'm confused Because it appears
As if it really matters

Yeah I'm confused
Because it appears
As if it really matters...

Bitterly spoken insecurities
Are making my heart bleed
This competitive one-up-manship
Has turned vile, sick...obscene

And I, for one,  am ashamed
By this whole damn flaky scene 
If you got a problem 

deal with me

Face to face
Head to head
She to she…

You're so restless in your skin
I won't even try to begin
...you wouldn't listen anyway
So what's it matter.

You're so restless in your skin
I wouldn't even try to begin
To tell you I couldn't possibly
Feel much sadder

Such a sadness and anger and confusion... and all mingled profoundly line by line... You create an emotional state where one is lost and no escape route can be seen. Powerful.

If you are ashamed of this flakey scene !
Sounds like you need a new friend.
The more I read of your stories , the more
I admire the writing. You are very talented.
Exciting. Thank you,

Ah...yes, ...this one. I actually wrote after an argument with my dear cousin. We are both strong willed and I am afraid to admit, often opinionate people. Of course she is much more opinionated than me ! But it was many years ago that I wrote this. I entered it in a poem about friendships going bad...and often they do. We got over it though. I had to smile at myself when re-reading it! Sometimes we are so silly aren't we!

Thanks for the explanation.
In a short period I am becoming addicted to your writing.
You dig write into where the character lives , you drag them
out and expose them to your reader.
Great job, well done.
