Sticks and stones

by Matthias L. - Capricorn

And so we all come down 
To end our final chapter
Voluntarily
With sticks and stones
Or even less

As every word I write
Calls the end a little closer
It's too late to think
That friends could just be friends
When moments move between them
And subjugate the notion
To attain more than all this suffering

As they stare at me
I can sense their feelings
Condensed into one

Hate 
Fear
Respect
Envy
Astonishment

But they're mistaken
And do not even see
How easily I led myself astray
Thinking I was right
To find there is no way left to go

Suddenly I feel so insecure
With the knives deep in my back
I never knew what changed them
It's far beyond my ken

I hesitate
Then turn around
And say good-bye
But don't look back

I save up all my feelings
Trying to find the reason
Why there is nothing more to share

Hope
Fear
Regret
Envy
Anxiety

Seems I was mistaken
And did not even see
How in the end this harmless play
Became a sudden fight
Leaving us no way left to go

Reason for writing:

    I assume it's rather obvious...
