My two friends

I have known you a long time my two friends,
since we were young, niave, and foolish,
it makes me sad to see what your lives have become,
I still love you and my heart goes out to you,

I know his wife is controlling and abuses him,
I can relate and feel his pain,
he's comfortable where he is,
he is too afraid of change,

Her habits die hard and she has never gotten over the bitterness,
she was a victim at one time,
she angrily vows to never be one again,
she cheats on her husband and still waits for that "true love",
no one can meet her expectations,
she can't let them get close, can't let them in,

She told me that people don't change,
but I have to disagree,
I am one of those who has,
it wasn't easy,
it was a need,

We all sit and talk about our lives,
we reminise about youthful adventures,
we share pictures of our kids,
we laugh and tell our many stories,

In some ways we haven't aged at all,
it still feels the same,
in some ways it's been a life time ago,
doesn't matter we're still friends,

Life may not be what was expected,
it may not be what we had planned,
but to live like life just happened and we had no choice,
as though we are robots and have no voice,

I refuse to accept that we must do what is the norm,
I refuse to accept that we can't be reborn,

To my friend who is self-centered,
to my friend who is scared and sees no way out,
you are alive, do not forget that,
why do you live as though you're dead?
Our love must not be just words, but True Love, which shows itself in action,
No one needs a smile more than someone who fails to give one,
After you die...you know how to LIVE!

    hmmm
    excellent read!!
    The only thing I enjoy is having no feelings....being numb rocks!

    And I won't make the same mistakes
    (Because I know)
    Because I know how much time that wastes
    (And function)
    Function is the key

    I really like the lines above. Good one.

    I am a forty-one year old man, which, falsely prides myself on not letting anyone see me cry. However, if someone walked in on me right know, I would be BUSTED!
    This passage:

    "She told me that people don't change,
    but I have to disagree,
    I am one of those who has,
    it wasn't easy,
    it was a need"

    Hit's me RIGHT between the EYES!
    You are telling my story.
    Thanks so much!!
    Can't you see that there's light in the dark.
    Nothing's quite what it seems in the city of dreams.
