Friend-
The condolences that I wish to extend
Can by no means begin to express
The regret I feel for having hurt you.
I miss the banter that we shared,
The openness that is now vacant from my life.
It was this free tongue that wounded me
Yet I wish it was here still.
Perhaps if you were here,
You could save me from this.
Shake me from my stubborn will.
Open my eyes to my own foolishness.
Where have you gone, friend?
Does it not matter that I am lost?
Has my pride offended you so much
That you care no more for me?
I pray someday you will forgive me.
I was a fool and so cruel.
I should have considered your opinion
Perhaps for this, my heartache is justified.
