Buddies Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

We were then a good couple,
Of buddies that dared.
We were then a good couple,
Of buddies everywhere.
We were then a good couple,
Until...
Other people came too near.
Other people interfered.
Other people came to dip,
In our business.

We were then a good couple,
Of buddies that cared.
And we did this to be shown,
Everywhere.
We were then a good couple of buddies
Until...
Those with noses in our business,
Advertised their lies to twist...
What was done we never did,
That ruined our relationship.

We were once a good couple of buddies
Back then when...
We let people we thought known,
Come into our lives and home.
Thinking that they had condoned,
Our relationship and lives.
But we did not realize they lied,
And despised.
Doing this to ruin us.

We were then a good couple,
Of buddies back then.
We were then a good couple,
Of buddies with other friends...
Pretending to be that.
But never were pretending,
To see us end.
