He held my hand and gave me hope
Then he showed his true colors
Little by little his cynical side began to show
He distrusted everyone, including me
He began to think I had other things in mind
And he put a lot of space between us
I greatly missed the friend I had
And asked him why so distant
His answer was more distance
And I became all alone again
**
One day he stopped to see me
And gave me what he’d borrowed
I felt like this was the final goodbye for some reason
He stood there at a distance and softly said goodbye
I fought back tears and desperately wanted a hug
But he turned around and walked out the door.
And I never saw that cynical man again.
Written for Fandango’s One-Word Challenge (FOWC) – cynical
This is heartbreaking.
Yes, so sad.
This is heartbreaking, but so perfectly written.
Missed reading you.
Thanks so much! More than happy to have you back Drew!
