No Friend To Me


he again talked in circles
of things I didn’t know
and echoed to places low
back tracking double talk
to leave me on a string
traces of words left behind
that I wanted to hear
unraveling my very fiber
gently tearing me apart
pretending to mend again
what was once so broken
stirring ashes left on the bottom
from a fire that burned hot
but I am not as wrapped
like I once had been
I guess I am learning
from one too many unannounced
visits or quick drive bys
and language has two meanings
I have learned, I have
that if you need me
means trust me, I will be
around

just some words cut from
the diary of my heart

This is disturbs me.  Also it is not up to your normally superb level.  Forgive me for saying this darlin'.

that I am concerned
should be evident by this
expression of love

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.
