I have a heart to tell to you I brace my mind and begin I open up to your mercy I hold a gaze into your eyes
All that you have to say is, "But. . ." Or, respond with, "I. . ."
Are you at all interested in a life but yours?
I've met many modern women and men Sure as death it seems you would rather not share so much as eagerly compete
Your words and terms usher in necrosis I am empathetic to your plight, but I have to give it back and confidently ask,
"Is this friend
ship?"
"Is this friend
ship to me?"
I wish to give of all my self to those that listen well as I've been listening in for all my life and I know your deepest prosperity is yours to find and not mine,
so
I will leave it up to you instead.
Blessing and boon

To the friends I've never met. It's important to me that I tell you, I've found that expectation is not the same as setting standards and you're allowed to distance yourself for health when you can't get through to a person who wants to be around you.
There is a gentle way to let them down. Don't make it all about their actions. Be brave enough to explain how you feel. If you see their eyes alight and soft. You will know the love is good and real.
