Long ago their journey began,

Two little girls walked hand in hand,

Giggling and whispering without a care,

Truly their friendship had not a tear.

 

As time went on they had their rifts

But solemnly swore they would never drift

Dreaming and laughing of together growing old,

Neither suspected how cheaply one would be sold.

 

I cannot say just when or what unseen

Weaseled its vile way between

The girls and their beautifully innocent bliss

That was lost to a Judas kiss.

 

The one loyally poured out all she got

Though what she received was less than her lot,

Still she unconditional loved, forgave and sought

Reconciliation just as she’d been taught.

 

Promises it seems are not always kept

And the one was hurt, confused, and deeply wept

Desperately trying to grasp the reasons why

She found herself having to say goodbye.

 

Much time has passed, yet no hope’s in sight

Still for friendship the one puts up a fight

Believing one day their packed might mend

But reluctantly surrendering to the inevitable end.

 

Her heart will always ache when she comes to mind

Thinking of all the words and years they left behind,

Haunted by fears that she forgot something in her exhaust

That might have saved their friendship from being lost.
