Carving out a path to freedom
To have it denied
Friends who seek to save me
Leave me behind
I fight to understand
Where loyalties lie
Why so many should have to die
But I see in reflections
Returning in their eyes
Sending back my pain
I am but blue rain

WOW... very, very powerful! To be on the verge of attaining something... only to have it denied.. that is something with which a lot of us are acquainted...
ReplyDeleteYou never fail to amaze.... :)
Not every friend can withstand the test. And that is painful.

ReplyDeletecan not even get a glimpse of you or your needs
'friend' is a huge and intimate sharing
Your poem is deep and moving
Betrayal. hard to enfold in the folds. blue rain.
