Old Friend? Was I Just A Psychic Vampire?

Old Friend?
Remember when?
We shared a moment?
Remember when…
We exchanged smiles

The years shift not only the trees
Decaying to amber the hazel shades
Time rakes his fallen leaves

(Mementos of passing memories litter the wayside)
(Comrades a ship docked to the bayside)

Remember the nights that shouldn't end?
Old Friend?

The laughs and jokes
our own private language
Old Friend,
wounds never without bandage

Has it come to this?
That we're now strangers
in strange lands
Do our hands
clutch if we meet?
Will you pass by me on an empty city street?
Who are you...
Aren't you...?
Didn't we know each other from...?

It really has been a while
Since we were brothers
Couldn’t forget it
Could it be a lie?
Couldn’t remember
Couldn’t try

Sometimes I'll bump into your poltergeist during a dream
Rapid eye movements portraying time's painted pictures
Lovely, Lovely, brushstrokes of serene
Good old days, so good
but so aged

Old Friend?
Was I just a psychic vampire?
Ever flashback to the old minutes, too?
Old friend?
Who are you?

Good stuff

I think this is my favourite of all the poems I've seen in here.

Old Friend

Good to hear from you Ex-Jedi. I'm happy you liked this one. It's crazy how people we used to spend everyday with become strangers sometimes. Time and different locations make things like that, I guess.

Old friend

that's so true, someone who was once your best friend is probably now just a total stranger-it's so sad when it happens but we never really think why...clever write, insightful neo :) ♥

Thanks, Jewel

Yes, it's weird how time disconnects us; I often do see old friends in my dreams. Thanks for reading one of my few halfway sane, reflective writes!

Yes

I had to look twice to see if it was really you...but I sort of like the half sane as well as the completely way past insane stuff you write! and you're welcome neo :D ♥

Thanks again

Thanks again for reading, Jewel. Sometimes it's good to be half-sane. And by the way, I absolutely loved that piece you wrote recently about the gay guy. That's a new favorite of mine on this site; I was chuckling about it for days.

You are so sweet neo!

Linda and me were just having a conversation about that, and were saying that you're the funniest sweetie! and for you to say one of mine is one of your favourites, coming from the master of the hilarious and the dead funny I'll take that as a compliment! so thank you! :D ♥
