friends

what has happened?
you’re as tight-lipped as ever
the laughter that once resonated
now replaced with silence
the companionship
gone as well
It’s like we never existed
the friendship
was but a dream
or perhaps
a painful reality
i anguish over what was lost
yet…
a part of me rejoices
if you weren’t my friend then
you aren’t my friend now
better I learn earlier
than live a lie
