You may not know at all
and so I make this statement
I was and will for ever be
the friend that I always am.
I have to tell this to you
since for years the sweetness
there was has started turning sour
and clearly I can’t stand this change
in this hour of challenge to my soul
to keep mum and die
or to speak out in a bid
to let dark clouds vanish
and rays of hope for your
return once again brighten up
my dull dark days of brooding
in gloom and a sense of guilt.
