Her . .

My friend

She calls

I can hear her in the distance

Please don’t leave me!

She yells

It’s as if you were gone

In an instance

Her voice

It reminds me

Of a girl I once knew

Was it me?

That I heard

Was it her?

That I knew

She calmly walked toward me

Her presence

It shook me

As her voice?

It was mine

And my voice?

It mistook me

Please!

Come back!

The voice

Growing stronger

You need me

I need you

But she couldn’t be wronger

I was free

And she knew it

Is this why she came by?

It’s as if

I was destined

To be drawn by her lies

The lie that tells me I need her

The compulsions

And more

That door

It is closed now

And of that

I am sure
