Friend Foe

Age gave me time to learn

About friendship, I learned a lot

I did not let the bridge burn

You were the one who let it rot

All I have done was live my life

On different paths, our feet would walk

It led me to meet my wife

While we lost the power to talk

Often, my thoughts lead to you

On how our lives have been driven

I feel that I moved and grew

And you found your way to prison

What did you feel when in that cell

At what point was I in your mind

In my deepest thoughts, you dwell

Tangled in my unconscious bind

We may never again have a conversation

Tell jokes we used to share

Because it will not meet our expectation.

Our lives have changed beyond repair.
