dead friendships by Richard Trotter Our colors did not match our rooms were made of cloth and now they're split by rain a clinging stain upon the earth is all that its worth. Our wings did not connect and lead us to the clouds a thread thats worn to mute and once again, the fabric frays only the loneliness stays. 01/06/2004 Author's Note: it hurts to be rejected. Posted on 01/06/2004 Copyright © 2025 Richard Trotter Member Comments on this Poem Posted by Maureen Glaude on 01/06/04 at 05:01 PM this is so beautiful, (to use an over-used word, sorry) - it couples the fragility of a butterfly with that precious, exquisite but breakable item - friendship. and a part of our fabric seems to break with that loss. I get it perfectly. Yes, none of us bears rejection too well.
