Long distance phone call

it's hard to be here
you see your friends
in love
or well on their way
you see your love
loving someone else
and wonder if maybe
somewhere along the way
you gained some flaw
an invisible scar
that prevents you
from being chosen

you talked tonight
about doubting
if everything
happens for a reason
we named the big 3
the holy trinity of tragedies
that we have endured
together
and separately

where is our peace
and sense of well-being?
she's found it
as much as she
ever will, I think
you're going down
the path of
least resistance
while I'm still
fighting through
this dark forest
without a map
or endpoint
I'm glad you're happy
I am your ever loyal friend
watching your story
as it unfolds
but wanting one
of my own
