Friends No More

A Poem by A. Star

I miss the days of idle gossip
Babble whispered from our lips
I guess somewhere along the line we lost it
That flame of friendship now unlit.
Do you recall the times of joy?
Rambling on about clothes and boys
Frivolous indulgence we used to partake
Looking back, now it seems fake
I can’t understand why we have to change
It seems like something we just can’t arrange
I miss the days of hour long conversation
Each statement with exclamation
I never thought we’d forget the point
Never thought we would blow this joint
You allow yourself to fall into that hole
All of your self medication is taking its toll
I’m sorry I can’t be a better friend
I’m sorry I can’t be there till the end.
I’m sorry I go to follow trends
That I can’t always just sit and defend
Is it so hard to just enjoy a laugh?
It seems that our times have flown by too fast.
My words are in jumbles but I’m sick of games
This entire situation is lame
I feel like you think I can’t be trusted
Like anything you tell me will end up busted
And that our friendship is just in vain
Well, from me to you, I feel the same.
