memoir of a broken friendship
i stared wide eyed and observant
headspace jumbled like my junk drawer
perhaps i missed a leaf or two
as i looked at you in your glory
a relaxed expression expressed
only through a simple smile
i wanted more for us you know?
decluttering papers, an organized box
perhaps i missed a leaf or two
as i yearned for you and approval
a tired expression expressed
only through a simple nod
i wished on a moonlit lake
fingers cramping from writing
perhaps i missed a leaf or two
as i glanced at your eyes
a depleted expression expressed
only through a twitch of the hand
i cried my tears into a flannel
thoughts muddied, result of an april rain
perhaps i missed a leaf or two
as i looked at your resentment of me
an angry expression expressed
only through bitter spoken words
friendship breakups suck
