There was never a moment
When decency was NOT an option
The tax was never placed
On common friendship
It was always there
For free
Free
Funny the lack of value
That can be placed
On something as
Fundamental
As friendship…
A smart woman
A kind woman
A woman you can call
When you need advice
A listening ear
A woman who already knows
The weaknesses you try
To hide
And DOES NOT care
She was always there
For free
But she cannot bridge
The gap between
Lusty affections and respect–
The hole you fall in
When walking
From one bed to another
Making you a lower person
Every time you stumble,
Each pair of arms
A lesser truth
Rest assured
She will NOT be your friend
You have burned her
And matter cannot return
To its previous state
After such a change
Cowards walk this world alone
In aimless paths
And in her eyes
You now join them
Yesterday’s love
Today is nothing more
Than dirt on her shoes.

“free/ …fundamental/ as a friendship”
– precious(?)/ as a friendship
“and matter can not return/ to its previous state/ after such a change”
– that is the kind truth you find @ the bottom of a pit!
eye always love reflection. …but eye dont know what happened (and eye sooo want 2!)
were they friends that became lovers? one of them wanted 2 be lovers? respect and admiration grew in2 the affectation of desire? or was the friend trying 2 save someone who wouldnt save herself? how did she burn —> her? was “her” right…or was “she” right? sigh.
