But I’m Your Friend

I call you to fill in

the boring morning hours.

You’ve been excusing yourself

Too busy to talk

do you fear death

in friendship?

Do you wonder why

some seem untrusting

in friendship?

Can you decide to confide

or is it suicide

in friendship?

You’ve chosen…

I’ll hold you to your terms

on my terms

I’ll hold my own counsel

on your terms

“but I’m your friend.”

Notes: In university I had a friend in the education program with me. I was such a moron at that time and didn’t know what she wanted… it started feeling a lot like being in an episode of Seinfeld and she was an Elaine / Kramer mix…
