Friend unfriended
words poured like water
into a hole on the beach
castle built against the crashes
of incessant waves
these were you and I
ever daring to try again
we grew apart...
our words dried up
wishes never came true
no stars to wish upon
nothing shone for us
even then
the hole never filled
the waves never stopped
but our words were gone
silence born of indifference
outgrowing each other
the gap in between got wider
a finger snap, a decision
snipped the friend tag away
all what's left was the vision
of wishes never fulfilled
words never spoken
questions never answered
we may still be friends
elsewhere.

I lived this poem so many times, someone seems so cool and you add them and then later after really getting to know the person you feel a disconnect and you basically just delete them from your existence. Good share, Grace, always enjoy your keen observations of this world we find ourselves in.

That's so true:) anonshadow...initially its a discovery of sorts and then it just flat lines. But there is always a lesson learned there. Thank you for reading me.

Very melancholy but beautifully written, with a note of optimism at the end. Fine work Grace. Hopefully those words will finally be spoken and questions answered.

Some words are better left unsaid, Crowfly but who knows eh. Thank you for reading me, much appreciated.

How sad but true. We are like ships passing in the night, our seasons of affection are brief, as the old maxims says.
