When something dies you let it go,
But that's one rule I don't oblige.
We know it's wrong and could be lost,
So why are we still here, waiting with each other?

I walk by your side and you by mine,
Silent and unspoken, yet distressed with no ease.
A fork in the road, or a piece put out of place
Seperating our connecting bond,
And breaking down what's left.


A hidden face, a string of lies,


An unspoken word, or one too many said.


A daunting gaze, a hurtful stare,


A feeling of lose, or a sense of gain.
We'll never know what brought us here,
I staying here and you over there.
But one thing that will never change,
I will never go over there, and you will never come over here.

I wrote this a couple years back when my best friend and I were in a huge fight (not even a fight really) and I truelly thought our friendship was going to end.
