You made growing up easy. I could share my feelings and thoughts with you.

 

But then you disappeared from my life. I have only one request, . . .

 

 

Let’s Talk

 

You avoid me like the plague

and I don’t know why.

I thought we were lifelong friends,

until the day we die.

 

My heart is heavy—

saddled with grief.

I don’t know what happened

and live each day in disbelief.

 

You don’t answer my emails

or respond to a call.

I feel like I’ve climbed a mountain,

only to fall—

 

Fall into the depths

of the ocean below.

Struggling to survive,

I have nothing to show.

 

My efforts have left me

with little hope.

Each day it becomes

harder and harder to cope.

 

So I bury my head in the pillow

on my bed,

And pray things may change,

before I join the dead.
