What Went Wrong?

You wonder in your quiet silence
What went wrong?
Did you say something to offend?
You travel threw a maze of thoughts
Sorting, flashing threw your memory.
You hear what was said
Did you offend?
Each time you meet...... a back is turned
Coolness reaches out and freezes a friendly smile
You walk away and wonder
What went wrong?
People laugh in your face
Snickers behind callous smiles
Not knowing of your offence
You wonder
What went wrong?
Days, weeks, years pass
No words spoken of the why of discontent
You think maybe in reality never really a friend
Just someone crossing your path in the corridors of
time.
But, in the quiet of night you wonder
What went wrong?

Love Bon-Bon

Hope
I'm feeling this treatment right at the moment also. Not knowing why, but a feeling of the cold shoulder.Also it happened years ago with a girl at work. Never know what happened so I treated as if nothing was wrong, even tho I felt her coolness. Then years later she said she was sorry for being petty, but never saying why. If this person who is giving me or you the coolness is a true friend she/he will say what the problem is. Not letting us guess and wonder
what went wrong.

Reading this makes me think of a lot of people I've known, and forgotten.
Lovely write!

Awwwwwwww, poor baby~

I've known that silence ... took it ... and have given it~
Neither way accomplished much~
