In The Absence Of A Friend I had sensed the change
Its not like it used to be
What are they avoiding
By being distant with meWhat was silence saying
That I no longer belong
Having noticed the void
I wonder what was wrongI try to pick up the threads
That were drifting apart
Needing to fill the space
That I can feel in my heartIn between conversations
Awaiting silence to end
Missing those fun times
In the absence of a friendHope©2004
Playing The Waiting Game I have no way of knowing
Could I have lost a friend
Our bond of togetherness
Perhaps they want to endBecause of your silence
The lingering long pause
I play the waiting games
Left to ponder the causeI need you more than ever
For I am feeling so alone
Meanwhile I shall linger on
Through memories I roamWishing with all my heart
Can my despair be heard
Yearning through silence
For any comforting wordMy mind always wanders
Pages and pages of we
Magical times of plentiful
All remain in my memoryIf only it could be known
Why friends drifted apart
Will tomorrow find words
For writing heart to heartHope©2003
