Limerick Rake

I miss your presence  
in a way I can't explain  
your clever retorts    
always making me laugh  
   
though I feel a chasm between us now  
one that I dare not cross  
I reflect as another cigarette burns low  
   
paranoia maybe, I don't know  
though I feel a heavy feeling in my chest  
pressing upon me making it difficult to breathe  
enamored with you for so long my friend  
   
the first to see me for who I truly am  
with your keen observations  
stood by me when I was just getting to my feet  
I guess there comes a time when we must stand alone  
   
I'm nothing more than what you see  
exposed and raw on the page  
hiding at times behind a façade    
that you see through all so clearly  
   
   
(Author's Note inspired by this song that a dear friend once passed on to me..
