Friendship Remains
It was a day, not unlike the past
When I entered the room to greet my friend
Little did I know, I'd be wrong by the end
Standing near the teacher's desk, more confident than may be
Holding onto a mirror at which I glanced, she was a peculiar sight to see
As our eyes locked, the blacks of hers' enhanced
Mischief and interest, the modesty of common day not found
Refusal of curiosity would be profound
A question left my mouth, a reply I received
"If we do this together, will luck us still deceive?
Will the bad be shared, banished, or forced on merely one?"
It was an empirical study I'd not leave undone
~ * ~
Seven years gone by, having both gotten our fair share
Yet one thing was sweet, not bitter, to beware
Still two remained, though far away as could be
A pair that grew fond of their friendship dearly
Leading us back to a room, not the same
As where our behaviour almost once put our guardians to shame
Now I was holding the mirror, with her casually edging near
"We're not certain, having but an hypothesis still."
Heartfelt laughter echoed as we broke our reflections by will
~ * ~
This carried on, for as long as it ought
Regardless of lurking thoughts forced to be fought
Thus continued it did, down this path
Until one road crumbled, leaving only that
One empty room; a mirror intact
The experiment incomplete, but their friendship remains a fact
