You were my friend then: now almost stranger! <br />Our friendship appeared once very glorious; <br />What happened meantime, gives me great anger; <br />Our friendship no longer remains serious. <br /> <br />Fool you were, to be misled by others, <br />Who drove a giant wedge ’midst our friendship; <br />Cut off is our friendship, which me bothers; <br />A nadir has come in our relationship. <br /> <br />What years of intimacy have been lost? <br />You’ve been foolish, very much on your part; <br />Our friendship today is just but a ghost; <br />Won’t your eyes see the true love in my heart? <br /> <br />Dear friend however, you can’t be my foe; <br />I hope that our friendship, blossoms once more!<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sonnet-a-lost-friendship/
