lone moan

i lost my best friend - not to death - but to time

And the day turns into night
And what once had light 
Now stands in the shadows
Cooling off to cold
Hard
Unknown because unseen
Unfelt because unknown
What used to be is no more
Time opens and closes doors
Regret slams in your face
Door knob hitting you where the good lord split you
Splitting your emotions in two
Rage
Sorrow
Yearning for tomorrow
To return to yesterday
But the day has ended
And gone on it’s way

I fold
To carry a load alone
That once was shared
Loyalty & kinship
Strangers in the nighttime 
Resume the position of neutral
And not of love
To carry this load alone
That once was shared
A pair of peas that dare not leave the pod
Eternally attached like sod
Mortally detached like lifeless blades pulled from their root
I call out to my loyalty
I call out to my kin
I call and I call
And it’s nighttime
And no one’s listening
And I stand solitary in my caring
And carry this lonely load alone down the lonesome road of stone

I stumble
I fall
And no one is there to hear my call
Let alone, pick me up
And tomorrow is lost, gone
If yesterday cannot be my home

I think of friendship
And I fold
