Once upon a time,
I had a different home.
A place that was full
Of friends for me;
I had no need to
Roam.

Eventually, however,
Friend became enemy.
I had to leave and
Come here;
Friends stopped
Caring for me.

Driven from my
Haven,
I now stand
Alone.
Loss of friendship
And of love
Have cut me to
The bone.

But lucky for you there's healing
And the chance to start again
And from the words you write here
You'd make a mighty good friend

Let my words fall first upon deaf ears before a closed mind...

The worst loss one can feel is that of losing a friend.  So very sorry if this is reality you write.  True friends, however, never leave you no matter what life brings your way.  Remember that and I hope you find at least one true friend on your journey.  

All writing comes
by the grace of God.

Ditto with what Lone Wolf wrote.  Someone once told me that people will enter your life  for a reason, for a season, or for a lifetime.  Each one's important;  it's just a matter of understanding the role they played in your life...
