FRIEND
all the love you
have
left alone to sleep
through locked doors and through the gloom
inside walls and inside rooms
with friends you had some time ago
you close your ivory
eyes
but laughter never dies
and yet you still can't see the joke
of all the foolish words you spoke
to friends you had some time ago
all the dreams you
dreamed
leaves upon the wind
one by one they fell to earth
it wasn't just yourself you hurt
but friends you lost some time ago
no more
curtains closed
no more virgins pose
that’s yourself you saw today
with all the things you'd like to say
to friends that went away
