Death of a Friend

you and I
are not friends
I have felt
your kiss of death
in your soul
you are dead
mine
is full of breath
your heart is a sponge
soaking
up plenty
how can you be
so full
yet,
at the same time be
so…..empty
feasting
on the empty
you truly love
that meal
greedily
you feed
off that attention
but,
it dulls
your appeal
now……
when you need me
please
do not call
I am no longer
here for you
NO,
not at all

A friend who is no longer a friend is sometimes tougher to take than an enemy. Joyce

Boy, you've hit the nail on the head with this one.
I have/had one of these kinds of friends!
I know just where you came from with this one, and you've
expressed and explained it very well.
