You were once good friends, <br />I felt jealous, you used <br />to sit and chat for hours <br />on end over wine while I <br />went to bed; you philosophized <br />about life you took his advice; <br />you knew he was right – now, <br />today, I don’t even know how <br />to tell him I called you secretly – <br />when you referred to him, <br />you were angry; when he talks <br />about you, he claims bullying – <br />how can I get you to reconcile? – <br />A sister estranged, a husband <br />who is insulted; I know you <br />did not mean bad – but the <br />cold words that you said <br />found their mark – is there <br />no way I can get you to make <br />up and be friends again? <br />I need you both in my life, <br />please help me to find <br />a way to bring about peace…<br /><br />Margaret Alice<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/family-matters-you-were-once/
