I wrote this to an old friend in 2007.

Final Mile

By The Poetess (SRP)

 

Life is not about smiling and pretending all is well.

We can still feel the good times, while comforting the hell.

When I dance the joyful part, you love my cheery smiles.

But then you turn away when I wade the teary miles.

I must walk them both, until my work is done.

And I don't want to cry the final mile alone.

But can I be for you all that I need for me?

Can I hold your hand until your heart is free?

When I dance the joyful part, you love my cheery smiles.
But then you turn away when I wade the teary miles.

This is so true. I experience this all the time and I am amazed that so many people are insensitive and have no clue and are close minded. I appreciate the philosophical point of view that you share here, Poetess. Love and best wishes,

Regis

A fine description of what aquaintances sometimes lack when what you need is a true friend and so do they. Patrick
