We Were Friends Once

We've walked our separate ways
For miles upon miles
And in the blackest haze
Called out beneath the Nile
But none of us could hear
The ghastly sound of fate
Where one who's never near
Could breed between us hate
This anxious, knotted gut
Knows nothing of your scorn
But feels the deepest rut
Of emotions that are worn
An indescribable fury
From your end of the stick
However never worried
It doesn't make me sick.
