Poem Commentary

An old friend from back in the day contacted me out of the blue and we reconnected for the first time in two years. It is so amazing because I never thought it would happen. I am glade she is back but I still don't know if I can trust her...I guess only time will tell.

Not repeats

A new door has opened up
to an old familiar path
I try my best to walk with caution
and not be quick to wrath
I jumped the gate a little late on my first attempt
and now where ever I go I walk with a limp

but I am not in the race the contest I did not win
instead I lost the bet and with it my best friend
now here again she comes to me and bids me to
a rematch
but I'm not sure if I should indulge, you see we burnt the last batch

but I am a dibatic now as far as all things are concerned
and know that in our parting there was a lesson to be learned
now I am ready to stand back up to volt this pole much higher
and pray that I don't get choked or tangled by the phone wire

to reach for the sky to hope for the best
to let you back in, now there is a test
will I regret it or will it be good
I don't think I'll do it but maybe I should

so ok ww'll give this a chance one more time
and hope that we don't get charged with yet the same crime
so if your going to be my friend I pray that you be true
I don't want to ever go down that path again with you.

my dearest friend from ages past I'm glade you've come again
but I am afraid I have to say you'll have to let yourself in
how bad do you want it, how much do you care
if I was stranded would you be there
or would you again leave me with out even a thing
or anyone to talk to, to help keep me sane
well that is where you left me that time I lost the race
and since you've been gone another's took your place

she is my best now 
she has been for quite a while
back when my world was dead
and all my dreams filled with dread
she was there she helped me
helped me to see
that though I had lost again
I was still me

so you see I will not push her to the side
for if it had not been for here I probably
would have died
that's how bad the damage was
when the storm blew over
but I am much stronger now
and a few years older
old enough to know better than to turn my back
on the only friend who was there for me when my world was black

you can be number two 
that is the best that I can do
and maybe in time the ties will be retied
but for the sake of aching feets
please lets swear to no repeats.
