Friendship’s threads, once strong and bright,
Can fray and tangle in the night.
Misunderstanding’s shadow falls,
Neglect’s cold touch, the bond enthralls.
No single villain takes the blame,
Two souls drift apart, a silent shame.
Subtle currents, unspoken truth,
Carry them away, from golden youth.
One friend may falter, stumble, stray,
Loyalty and trust, they disobey.
Words unspoken, secrets kept,
Confidence betrayed, the wound is wept.
Hearts grow distant, walls ascend,
A silent dance, where sorrows blend.
The other friend, they play a part,
Neglect and coldness, harden the heart.
Resentment’s seed, in darkness grows,
Unspoken grievances, no one knows.
Apologies may not suffice,
The damage deep, a heavy price.
Turn away from poisoned ground,
Seek connections, where joy is found.
True friendship needs respect and care,
Empathy’s warmth, a love to share.
If grace and warmth have disappeared,
Acknowledge the truth, do not be feared.
Create space for friendships new,
Honor your worth, in all you do.
You deserve connections, pure and bright,
Uplifting your soul, with all their might.
Recognize the end, with open eyes,
New beginnings wait, beneath the skies.
