Title: Broken String
I never knew,
that loosing someone,
would be this
painful.
I barely knew you,
but the pain
still fed deep
inside me.
Crawled up my veins
and got through my
heart.
I maybe did something
wrong.
I wasn’t grateful enough
for you.
Yet at that moment
that’s what I felt
grateful
to have had you
by my side.
Grateful
to have had you
as my best friend.
I did nothing
wrong, yet even
though my heart
aches with pain
My mind tells me
that you, were
the one not
grateful to have me.
To have a shoulder
to lean on,
and someone to ease
you of your pain.
Yet we were both
pulling on one string,
blindfolded thinking
it would never break.
