friends, we call ourselves friends, used to be <br />whatever i have <br />we share, always you get half of the burger <br />i eat, always you share. we always move together <br />on borrowed time, we always read together <br />on borrowed books, those times when we were poor <br />and wretched and disregarded <br />by them, <br /> <br />i guess, you have learned the tricks of distance <br />its fruits, indifference, its ways, hectic schedules, <br />and the flow of which is <br />rapid, like the Niagara, the falls of affection <br />and remembering <br /> <br />you have always ignored me now <br />my hello <br />muted, what has happened then, tell me? <br /> <br />we always shared half of what i have <br />you have taken <br />half of what i am, shall i continue living <br />on this <br />incompleteness? you have ignored me <br />always <br />like you are always, offline, offline, <br /> <br />you have challenged me enough <br />after 26 years, i have also learned the tricks of <br />a hundred <br />indifferences, <br /> <br />i am taking this road, you have taken that <br />you have been silent <br />i beg, i bet, i cannot die <br />alone, i want to live, i want still to know <br /> <br />why, my friend, you left, why my friend, you have <br />not spoken? all those years <br /> <br />on a cross-eyed point of view <br />or plain sadness out there?<br /><br />RIC S.
