Solitude

Solitude

Mind moves so gently alone
Hurt but eyes refuse to cry
A friend to call my own
For them my fishes I fry

Took all I have and fled
Someone my trust can lie 
This time I carry my axe
This time I hate betrayer

True friendship is all I ask
Is that too much to ask?
Lets enjoy our food in flask 
Friendship is no task

Is failure an impediment? ►

David,

A good poem. As I read it twice I felt drawn to reading between the lines where I believe I found what I was looking for.

Thank you for this
Keith
