“A friendship ended today”

A friendship ended today.

An old friend did I forsake.

The relationship died quiet.

I attended the wake.

Sad, it happened on this day

Of giving and receiving;

But I finally realised:

‘Twas me I was deceiving.

I am no saint or patron

To give in so, take all pain;

I have a heart that hurts

And cries against such disdain.

Perhaps I am wrong…perhaps…

Old friends are hard to find.

But I am done with insults!

So I paid back some, in kind.

Perhaps my heart’s growing hard,

Harder than it ought to be;

But, if friendship made it so,

Oh, what friends are these to me?

If, to heal a wounded heart,

We seek the company of friends,

Pray tell, to whom does one turn,

When friendship itself ends?

The poet should understand…even if the poem is beautiful and with loads of pain from the poets point of view – there are few things which are immortal…like : true love and true friendship .
