Friend no more
we met on a distant shore
long before
I knew you-
how important you'd be
as you washed upon me like the sea
a tidal wave of ecstasy
I knew you-
as the hours passed
and our shared interests became vast,
like the depths of the sea:
I didn't know-
what conversation would be our last.

Friend no more-
I fear the distance a bridge cannot cross
and from that I feel lost
without a way home.
Friend no more-
I've forgotten my pride
and swallowed my last bitter sigh
We- we never got to say goodbye,
Friend no more.
Friend no more-
you fill me with such disdain
because I've waited in vain
while you've again
rejected my apology.
Friend no more-
you've passed through a door
and locked me on the outside
to discover that this friend-
you-
have come to an end,
Friend no more.
