Dial Tone

People that form bonds
And then keep them going
Over time with strength and love
Don’t do it over the course of
A three times a year meetup
To compare us to that
Kind of a connection
Leaves me embittered
And hopeless for a true
Lifeline in the friendship
I thought we were promised
I thought we were agreed
I thought we were aligned with
You can tell me that indeed you
Desire to be as close as you want to
Even the Gods cannot force you
To be close to
Someone that you don’t
Show up for in your actions
Over weeks and months on end
Someone that you reach out to
Only when it’s relevant for you
I reckon that’s a fair weather friend
You’re not a bad person
For being incapable or to pretend
I’m only disappointed in myself
For believing that you could
Show up for me in ways
That you promised not to test
However titling our friendship
With a moniker of best
But the clock ran out
Your calendar got full
Your life is chock full
Of everything that you need
No more hours to give
To others when you have
So much life to live
