Where did you go?


There was a time
when we could chat
about just anything
Would never tire
Nor would aspire
To any meaning bring

Just ramble on
Like old friends do
Words never running dry
Our problems share
And show our care
With sympathetic sigh

It trickled then
And slowly stopped
Never to be the same
And suddenly 
My once true friend
You no longer came

I question not
Nor do I blame
But still I oft ponder 
Where did you go
Why was it so
Must friends be asunder

I helped you then
Away you went
When most I needed you
But still I write
And silence earn
For what else can I do
