This I Write To Friends Who Aren't There {An Original Poetry}

It's been a while from the last time
We said our goodbyes
With no worries, no tears.
No throwbacks to cherish so dear.
I guessed you moved on,
Or maybe it's just pretense but this i know is true - I moved on!

image
Though darker days loomed in ravaging turns,
I looked away in the distance to catch a glimpse of your shadow,
But it never came.
I guess I was just another wisher wishing a different course,
Like for disappointment to go away in haste,
As I close eyes to picture a better morrow.

image
I was hurt and at the same time, lost
There were voices in my head, pictures of a ruptured trust.
Then I realise; no amount of hurting myself would right your wrongs
Especially when forgiving proves most difficult.
Maybe I leave it to time for the scars to heal,
And hope that it will one day bring me inner peace.

image
This i write to friends like enemies.
Friends with salient but twisted dreams.
Friends of utmost disappointment.
Friends bereaving friends of happiness.
This I write to my circus of friends I needed the most but weren't there.
This I write; my tearduct is no longer pregnant with undeserving tears.
