Time beads on my skin Like the smelly sweat Of an obese factory worker In the deep south on a July day Time you don’t have Time you can’t manage It seeps into my pores Reminding me with intoxicating Accuracy that I am not at the top of your list of things important I wait with feigned patients and Fake smile Telling you and anyone else That it’s okay to treat me this way Tell me you’re too busy Or have obligations hip deep Tell me you “guess” you can see me later Then tell me you miss me Time beads on my skin A reminder of passage Carrying me further and further From any regards for what hope use to mean |

Welcome to Passions, and this post could be so many people's story in life, and a sad one. Time to pick different friends that's for sure. |

Welcome, OS! I am of the mind that we pick the friends that we have, but if they are not friends to us in return, then I say, "Adios amigo!" Mind you, a friend may be less of a friend during their difficult moments and I most assuredly would not abandon them at those times. However, if they repeatedly cause me personal hardship and sadness, then it most definitely is "Syronnarra(?), Baby!" We must honour ourselves!  Warm, welcoming hug, EA |

How beautifully sorrowful that was. I too know the feeling of being denied the love you thought was once yours...and as time reveals...mayhaps that wasn't the case! Lovely write! BTW...welcome to Passions...you're poetry will be greatly accepted here! Yv~Seeing eternal Sunshine |
