Brother No More

So, a boy and his best friend got into a big argument once. And the guy heard these words crystal clear, like the shots of ten million guns: "I'm sorry, but since now, you're my brother no more". Ten minutes later, the boy didn't live anymore...

So sad...journeys of anger and hate at time have no U-turn! Indeed regretful. :( Sunita

Real friends don't part enemies. They may have their disagreements, but in a real friendship/relationship working through those disagreements only strengthens the bond. A true friend is always a friend! Disturbing write! One must always look at any issue from both sides. That doesn't mean he has to agree, but it does teach one to look at things objectively.

I'm sorry if I disturbed you with this poem, Dan. It was written very long ago, back when I was very depressed, so I couldn't really look objectively on things. I completely agree with your point, but the point of this poem is saying that if my best friend left me, I'd not survive it. He's literally the only thing that keeps me alive as of right now, and I really value his care about me. Still, I do accept your criticism and will try to make less one-sided poems in the future.
