Footsteps and Friendships
Step by step we walk along,
Breathing in the air so strong.
The sky above the ground below,
Our hearts are light,
Our spirits grow.
Side by side we laugh, and talk,
The road stretched forward as we walk.
Steps complete the mind feels clear,
Calm and balance free of fear.
As we walked, the journey flows,
Stronger still, our friendship grows .
Grateful

Am I Ready To Revive My Friendships
Things are starting to feel normal and reminding me of what we had
But it's a feeling I'm trying to avoid and I know that sounds sad
Do I really want to revive what we had in the past
Just to give up my emotional dignified freedom that fast
I have cultivated a friendship with myself that has made

Sweet memories with bitter ending
2024.07.29, about a year ago,
Without BB, I visited the 12 Apostles on the Great Ocean Road.
Months before that he promised me,
We would travel wherever I fancied.
Even just days before the trip,
He raised no issue.
Well that was what I reckoned,
Promise was made to be broken.
On the way back to Melbourne,
I wrote a poem which I first

Friend
Fun times when we’re together
Freaky Friday switching partners
First person to know our thoughts
Faith in each other when times get tough
Forever on our minds
Fearless when the other one needs help
From another mother my sister or brother

My Challenges With Friendships
I have challenges in friendships because of what I expect
To me cultivating a friendship is like playing a game of roulette
For this person i tend to go above and beyond or go all out
Not giving it time to see what the person is really about
Its a challenge because they may not work as hard as

My Best Friend
My best friend,
Always makes me laugh,
My best friend,
Never made me feel as if I were last,
My best friend,
Always held my hand,
Now it's my turn to take a stand,
I'll be your shoulder to lean on,
I'll be your ears to hear,
I'll hold your heart when it's heavy,
Know matter how far I am or near,
I'll be that crazy

Four Years Ago to Now
I remember,
I remember the pain,
I remember the fear.
The loss, the anger, the hurt.
Friendships I thought might last forever,
Torn apart too soon.
People I loved now lost to me.
Years ago, I wrote a letter,
An old song from the depths of my heart.
In this letter, I recall
The crushing, clenching pain.
I thought it was gone, old and fixed,
Oh

Our hero on epitaph
our mouth owes a debt to your buried bones
a hot lead cracked in a jiffy,
and your brain splashed~
in the thick forest of Hanoi,
with the stains sucked by soil
as a flow thicker than water.
many blood stains on our flags
made too heavy for the wind

Music songs and relationships
All my adult life, I have been inspired,
By people from all walks of life.
I met them and we became close friends.
As time went on, I bound to find them each a song,
Which perfectly described our friendship.
When the relationship reached its peak,
I felt the lyrics, seemed to be reciting my life's story,
And deliberately depicted our frienship.
Even

A Double Pyramid To Say Good-Bye
Do
not put
me in a
box where I can't
be seen. I will not
hide anymore, I must
be set free to fly. Do not
put me in a box, where I can
not breath. Yes I need fresh air to breath,
friendships suck the air out of the air. No!
No!
life here
for us now,
I need to move
far away from you.
No more hurting for

The Missing Friend
Losing you was worse than heartbreak
17 years, i cannot comprehend
It hurt then and still does, while I mourn the loss of my soul sister
Your family is still my family, you refused to hear the truth,could have still turned it around
To say sorry, or even, "I'm happy I was mistaken" and I would have

Friendships and Holidays
I texted her Thanksgiving.
Asked what she’s doing for a living.
I texted her on Christmas Day.
If she was doing ok.
I sometimes admit.
That I almost quit.
Trying to reach out to old friends.
But the holidays are when hope upends.
I texted her New Year’s Eve.
It feels like I was just raking

Belonging
Why does everyone I love leave?
No matter how hard I try to hold on,
They always manage to go…
Is this what is meant for me?
Eternal Solitude?
I should be grateful for the time their friendship has stayed with me
But who should you share that gratitude with if everyone leaves you?
So here I am,
Left alone with my thoughts
