Of all the tales I have told,

I beg your ear.

For I tell of a quest,

Of a loss,

Of an anguish,

Of a lesson I have learned.

Don’t ask for the reason

For I don’t have any.

Ask for a solution, a hope,

Then listen to the tale.

 

Once upon a time

I went on to find a friend

I found one so true

Yet I hide not

That to find is not to keep

I preached of speech yet I gave none

So I searched for warmth and dialogue

And I found confusion and conflict

 

I lost not only a friend

but apart of me that I put in you

yet I knew not how to get it back

how to ease the quilotine

of conscience that befell

so I took blame in you for comfort

yet the pain ceased not

 

Then it donned on me

I was searching in the wrong places

For true answers are from the heart

That friendship begins inside of me

That I can not work this out alone

So I plead for your forgiveness

I offer my friendship

And besiege for yours

Then seek dialogue between us

For this is the lesson I have learnt

This is the tale I tell
