Broken Bonds

BROKEN BONDS

We used to be
so close and tight
like sisters should be
a bond brighter than light

But one day I noticed
You colder and distant
Lashing out over nothing
turning more a stranger than a sister

Over time the abyss
only grew and got deeper
Our talks became sparse
Our love, a mere whisper

From talking daily
To almost never
From understanding
To a cold shoulder
From more than blood
to an almost stranger

I lost my best friend
my confidant
my shadow

But that's how life works
some people come, some go
some hurt more, some less
that's how we learn...
that's how we grow...
