Framework

The friend has left me inside,
the friend that locked me out,
vulnerable and abandoned,
cold in a life without
some sort of subtle shelter
that would protect me,
that shields my eyes away
that would not let me see

The friend has left me wanting,
yearning for simplicity
Wondering when it all ends
I want it to return to me
A sort of easy answer
but just an explanation
for the bitter uneasiness,
for all my complications
