Memories Of Memories Of Friends

The thing about me

& my memory

Is that it’s difficult

To really maintain friendships

I’m doing work people can’t see

So I never blame them when

They walk away from me

Yet, I forget almost everything

Even what my friends really were

I don’t have friends, but I have

Memories of memories of friends

Very vague

Though clear enough to know

They must have meant a lot to me

So, though I don’t really consider them

As friends – not anymore – though

They get a skeleton key

From my past life

If they ever choose to reignite

The familiar fire that inspired

A mindless madman who has given up

On the concept of friends

Yet accepts the reality

That maybe the last me

Wasn’t an absolute fool

At least when trusting

Those who gave up on me


I don’t have any friends
