Our Changing Friendship

My dear friend,
I have been wondering,
When did it all start going
So wrong?

When did you stop smiling?
When you saw my name,
It seems like everything I say
Makes you upset,
Or question the hidden meaning,
You seem to see there…

You hate that I am not strong,
And the things I say to you,
Seem so wrong,
Yet I do not see it,
And I wonder if I am so blind,
Or if your eyes and heart,
Just see clearer than mine…

Is it me?
Am I really so bad?
What did I do?
To make you so blue?
It seems as though I anger you.
Make you want to leave,
When I all I really want
Is for you to stay
And talk with me awhile…

I try to talk light,
And you walk away,
As though you do not
Want to listen,
To the words I try to say…

My friend,
I want you to smile,
I want you to be happy again,
Not turn away in grief…

I wish I understood,
What I do so wrong,
I want my friend back again,
I want to smile and laugh with you
Like we use to…

I have tried to let you in,
Sharing more of me,
Letting you see,
This person that I be…
But the more you know,
The more you seem displeased,
Until I am so afraid,
Of saying the wrong thing,
And losing you forever…

If you go,
I just don’t know
What I will do,
There is no me,
Without you...

I wish I knew what to do,
To be friends with you,
To stop making you so damn blue,
I never wanted
To cause you pain,
Yet every word I speak,
Seems to make you think
So ill of me…
I wish I had never
Said the words to break your
Belief in me,
I think I should just stop talking,
Before I lose you forever…

Standing On My Knees by Pinkstone

I met Jerome on a busy city street in Baltimore, Maryland, when he was forty-five years old. On that particular day, I was out and about, enjoying a much-needed day off from work. I wanted to purchase a sukiyaki sub. I parked my car in an area of
