The Ghost Of Friendship

When I was a monster I felt no pain.
Everything I did was for personal gain.
I could not forgive nor be forgiven.
It had to do with the way I was living.
I couldn't see the sun but wanted to.
It is during these times I think of you.
I couldn't let you into my world then.
But so much has happened, friend.
Ego couldn't let me admit my wrong.
Our days together would seem so long.
Shame we never got to know each other.
We were too much like sister and brother.
When I was monster I would lash out.
I made you into a monster no doubt.
But that was the way it was back then.
When monsters fight there is no friend.
We were mismatched in time, mate.
We never did really get to go on a date.
It was all so rushed like a whirlwind.
Many years later I think of you as friend.
A difference you made way back then.
Today I see the sun and it is so bright.
I thank you for bringing me into the light.
