Once Treasured – Now The Silence
My friendship once was treasured, now the silence
In your heart, you’ve put up a fence.
I would pick up the phone and call you
I would come to your door with a bouquet of flowers
but now I’m confronted with a stranger
I don’t know your sentiments – I’m trying to work it out.
The reason why you keep such a distance
Is it that you’re so sensitive?
Or you’re punishing me without a trial?
For you have not allowed me to explain things.
Your silence has my compassion
But sometimes it feels so cold.
I ask myself did I really know you?
We seemed to know each-other well.
All a sudden my friendship seems to be like a hard-sell
How could I get it across to you, my sincere apology with tears
You’ve not even afforded an opportunity.
We’ve been so close together through these years.
Why can’t you cease the havoc this has caused my soul?
You always cherished my friendship, now I feel less than whole.
For this punishment has lasted a month
Ending the valued friendship we had once.
I feel that this is final.
You did not even care for last words, so we can go our way in peace.
My loyalty and support meant so much to you
And you always returned it in full.
We shared all our stories together –
the happy and the sad.
Our friendship was such a treasure
Speak up and make me glad.
But no, you continue this silence
I can’t handle it anymore.
So I think for sanity’s sake I shall also close the door.
At-least I have the memories of things we held so dear
It’s such a pity that you could not once again
Fill my heart with cheer.

Memories Of You
You always showed such courtesy
You were quick to answer my calls
And the best thing of all
We got along so fabulously well
Just to let you know you’re missed when I’m at rest
But your silence has unsettled me.
For someone so gentle, it has really been unkind.
I once felt there is not a mean streak in you
Now I’m not so sure.
You used to be one to answer the phone and open your door
Yes, now I’m not so sure, I’d not want to taint the memories
Of things we held so dear
At-least I could cherish them
When it’s as if you’re near.

It’s now a few months later. I kept this person out of my thoughts for a time
I had so much in common with, and did other things. She was like a Sister.
Time heals. Now I can appreciate the memories from time to time.
I wish you well.
