A Road Not Traveled
If you care for someone deeply,
How far do you travel with them
When they're lost ?
This question presented itself
To me recently, and their path
Was avoided & not crossed.
The journey could not be explored
By both of us, as I was unwilling to
Share in that pain.
So I had to quit in this venture
With another, and knew there was
No more to gain.
Sadly the residue remaining from
This friendship, was now broken and
Filled with animus.
With only the memory that once
Was felt between two, only to be
Leftover to one's alias.
