~~~~~~~~   SINK  ~~~~~~~~


I swore I'd never let our friendship die
We made a pact to see it to the end
On you, in full I'd surely soon rely
To hear my voice and always comprehend 

We thrived upon connection through each word
When first we met and struck a chord so true
With deep respect so mutually transferred
A world of verse, we took on, me and you

But something would obstruct our carefree road
To interfere and make us bend and sway
Foundations rocked, we'd bare unsettling load
Discord would strike, I pushed you far away...

... Then prior advice you gave in truth I found
Spurred need to heal the wound I sliced so deep
You reinstilled my faith in kindred ground
Forgiveness sought, til then I'll banish sleep

Since you've been gone I've had some time to think
Without you friend, I know I'll surely sink ...
