For Daryl

For Daryl

When you asked for money
I believed the cosmos listened much better
but that wasn't the answer you desired.
I should have given you a little more of myself
that had wandered off a distance away.
I didn't know what you needed
though you said it plainly enough.
I made assumptions
about how you ought to be
and it wasn't anywhere near
who you are
and the dilemma I swore
you forced upon me.

Nicely written, I think I’ve lived a similar story.

Nice one... I like the quiet humor and the narrator’s sense of responsibility
