(805)▪︎[ Maybe They Were Not One … 9•23•2021 ]

[ It Is Hard When People Leave ]
[ But When You Look, Were They Ever Here? ]
[ Did They Have To Reach Up Their Sleeve ]
[ To Ever Show Some Cheer? ]

[ Were They Just A Shell Of Their True Self ]
[ When They Were With You ]
[ Were They Wishing They Were Talking With Someone Else? ]

[ No One Gives Their Undivided Attention All Of The Time ]
[ You May Have Thought That They Were Giving You $1’s Worth ]
[ When They Were Only Giving You A Dime ]

[ If Their Eyes Were Going Half Shut ]
[ That May Have Felt Like A Punch In The Gut ]
[ & Their Backhanded Compliments Always Included A
     (YES, BUT …) ]

[ They Gladly Accepted A Gift Or Two ]
[ From You ]

[ Even Though It May Have Been Anticipated ]
[ Your Generosity ]
[ Was Never Reciprocated ]
[ In The End ]
[ Maybe They Never Were Your Friend ]
