head, in, you

Dear friend,

I understand sometimes you may use your ability
To be silly and sarcastic
To make comments and behave
In a selfish way

You also use,
Your ability to say and act
In whatever way pleases you
Or protects you
( your defense mechanism)
To express what is going on
At the moment
In your life

But as your friend,
I would like to say,
It frustrates me
To not be able to communicate effectively
( or as effective as possible)
With you

And messages are lost
And moments leap and dissipate
When I just wanted
To help you
( Even though you may not need me)
To talk with you

Dear friend,
I am also writing to you
Because I care
Because I think about you often
And wish I had the courage
And understanding
To better demonstrate and
Express how I feel

But I hope, my friend,
I have been clear enough,
And without metaphors
Or any other literary device
Comprehended in the most
Humble way.

Take care.
