3 Peas In a Pod

We were a trio, three peas in a pod
These days our encounters seem a bit odd
   Trying times came and left me solo
Fertilizer for their friendship to grow

   Reunited and feels so good
But things feel a bit different than they should
   So many holes have developed in the past
Events I've missed from the line that I cast

   Reminiscing of memories that don't involve me
I wish we remained the inseparable three
   I try and pretend that it doesn't sting
When I find that I've missed most everything

   But the truth is I'm scarred
My heart, charred
My presence to them, held little regard

   It feels like a limbo
I'll never get that low
A bridge I won't cross and a place I won't go

   Should I keep it inside
The nights that I cried
For the sake of my pride

   Or admit I was lost
And the depth of it's cost
How I felt disposable, easy to toss

   I was the glue that brought us together
They watched as I floated astray like a feather
  Their lives moved on and left me behind
While depression and regret consumed my mind

  But now they returned, just like that
I happily received at the drop of a hat
   I wish I could free these memories of abandon
And be as honest and strong as the ground I'm standing

  One thing's for sure
My intentions are pure
If nothing else, I'm more mature

Constance La France April 15, 2015 at 10:43 AM Anna, you have penned a poem full of deep emotion, 7, I have a picture from my childhood, of me and my 2 best friends playing dress up, we were like as you say, 3 peas, but time and the winding paths of life have changed us, the innocence lost and thanks for visiting my poem, insanity

Jan Allison April 13, 2015 at 9:48 AM It is so difficult when friends grow apart from us - it can be very distressing especially when you are young - getting back together is great but the old hurt still lingers but it is time to move on and make new memories together:-( Hugs jan xx 7 xx Anna Hopper April 13, 2015 at 11:51 AM Thanks for your kind words!
