ask too much

by Antwan Fields - Aries

as the city revolves around us i just want to ask
are you my friend?
weren't we just laughing and joking a minute ago?
and then i looked into your eyes
and i just KNEW i had asked for too much
then you averted your eyes
and the die was cast
i couldn't look at you again
see the rejection in your eyes
if i hadn't asked i wouldn't have known
and i was awakened to the fact that you didn't like me
so, feeling that i had asked for too much
i turned and left you standing there
ask too much, get too little
i now know this
firsthand.

Reason for writing:

    a certain friend who shall remain nameless who i thought was my friend i found out was not.
