Soured

There are times

When I wonder,

Trying to understand

I ponder,

On what went wrong

A friendship soured

With wilted edges

Reasons unknown

For forgotten pledges

Of a lost song

Seen a time when

I was the confidant

Seen the days

Lively and vibrant

So full of love and joy

Now is the time

When I am a stranger

Knocking on closed doors

Posing a danger

Memories to destroy

Time on rent

A thousand thoughts shared
Some spoken, some not
Not an emotion spared
Happiness to distraught
Eyes welled with tears unshed
Genuine pleasure, some smiles
Books, some read, unread
Destiny beyond time and miles
A million things left to say
Taking personal time on rent
Look forward to many a day
With a stolen time so well spent !
