Split

A path splits further
away from each other

As time continues
to run its course,

Me unsure about
your well-being,

While you wait for
heartbreak to walk in,

Ignoring respite
a few feet away.

Months

It's been months since
I've experienced

Life with my friends
in the big city;

No poetry or readings
of any kind,

Despite gatherings
with the locals.

I stay on the lookout
for special groups

In the coming
future.

Reconnecting

We were two friends
at a birthday dinner,

Catching up with
the ups and downs of life.

While taking a walk,
a full moon hovered

In the clear autumn sky,
and we loved the breeze

Gently whistling through
the leaves.

We loved the pure
perfection of that evening,

A start of a reconnection
to last a lifetime.

Time Loop

Time flies by while
I sit at the window,

Replaying old encounters
in my head.

The regular world
continues to turn as

Old friends' disappointments
with missed meetups

Pick at my brain
in that monotonous

'Youshouldhavedone' tune,
in one endless loop.

People move on to
live, love and share,

While I am stuck,
immobile from regret.

Truce

Her words came through
out of the blue,

Short and bitter,
as if I was the one

That owed her a reason
for the absence.

I would have cared
in a previous life,

Yet I no longer saved
space in my soul for her.

Gone were the excuses
I made when she refused

My company month after month,
our friendship filled with false words.

Gone were the reasons made
when she chose other's time

Instead of mine. I made peace
knowing that our friendship

Will always be this way, and now
I move forward,

While she pretends that I
need to offer a truce.

Walking away is what
we need for our growth.
