Trickster

5/5/14 For my friend John

Last night

You broke me

For once I was afraid

I had thought Id lost you

That youd left without a trace

Id wondered if I hurt you

If your family tore you down

For I thought that I had lost you

That you were lost and could not be found

You said not a word to me

Or any of our friends

I thought that youd

Taken a knife to your wrist

That you had met your end

But I had hoped that you hated me

Since then youd be alive

That I was but a figment of the past,

The last stop in this part of your life

But last night you broke me

Heart wrenching deep inside

For as your friend, I love you

And when you came back

I couldn't help but cry
