Only a Season

Friends are not forever,
They last only a season or two,
Ones who last a century or far and few,
What I tell you is true.
Its hard to find just one reason why,
But some still do try,
The end result always ends with a long sigh.
Some friends just lose that connection,
They just stop holding the same reflection.
Guess its true what they say,
Friends do come and go,
Theres always someone new to show,
But they all end in the same flow.
Friends are only around for a season,
They depart without reason.

These fine end lines are fantastic: Guess its true what they say, Friends do come and go, Theres always someone new to show, But they all end in the same flow. Friends are only around for a season, They depart without reason. ----------Wonderful job. Pen on.

You nailed friendship in the head. Grand job. Loved this poem. True to the core and to the point and brilliant as alwayz! Friends come and go, Ettie, and it's a total misfortune. I know....how it feels to be trapp'd in the past and feeling like I can't go on when I feel rejected. We've all been through being jaded by so called: "friends" but some find the genuine, awesome friend. You're that kind of friend. :) Smile some, gurl. Have a cool shummer! Still listening to musik - Way Back to Love.
