Sour Taste on My Lips

2008 Another for Christopher Robin

We said we would stay friends 
no matter what 
well no matter what has come 
and where are you? 

My stupidity pushed you away 
Unready and closed off 
more than I knew 

my inquistiveness and prodding 
going into no woman's land 
those questions we ponder 
but are not supposed to ask 

When did the feelings fade my dear? 
Is she really just a friend darlin? 
Why did we get to that wall of connection 
and then become divided 
not even friends 

that's what hurts 
the loss 
too much loss 
and loneliness 

she can have your kisses 
I desired your companionship 
My vulnerable openess 
was too threatening for you 

now you are no long my friend 
no matter what 
just simply isn't true

''no matter what'' how fickle the human heart can be and how well you have
expressed that in your words
