I Almost Lost Her
Sometimes a friendship
just gets tired,
it wants something new
to grasp onto.
There is a new level
it desires,
but cannot bridge the gap
til some part dies.
Tears wash it clean...
an eraser in the teacher's hand
wipes the slate clean;
we both learn.
We skip on that sidewalk
hand in hand
tossing our pet rock
across the pond.
We jump rope,
escaping the noose
that wanted to choke us,
but in perfect time.
Our shirts will match perfectly again.
