You were once good friends,
I felt jealous, you used
to sit and chat for hours
on end over wine while I
went to bed; you philosophized
about life you took his advice;
you knew he was right – now,
today, I don’t even know how
to tell him I called you secretly –
when you referred to him,
you were angry; when he talks
about you, he claims bullying –
how can I get you to reconcile? –
A sister estranged, a husband
who is insulted; I know you
did not mean bad – but the
cold words that you said
found their mark – is there
no way I can get you to make
up and be friends again?
I need you both in my life,
please help me to find
a way to bring about peace…
It's not easy when the people you love have not reconciled their differences. Hopefully, TIME (the great healer) will resolve everything. Good poem.
