For A Best Friend, Poem by Medusa Waves

For A Best Friend,



I am sure that you’ve been gone now,
For some time..
Your eyes are black and vacant-
like the lids behind my eyes
What bound us before, double stranded, maybe triple-
This connecting line between us both-
Is now one frail strand, undoubtly growing longer and thinner
Youll go on living with stangers who stare and say “I love you”
I’ll go on living with no one, and mirrors tell me, “die”
Im sure that you’ve been gone now,
For some time..
Your smile, forcibly, appears and disappears like soft sighs
We’ll make love to people who we do not love
We’ll pretend we’re happy with being undefined
We’ll breathe in the air of winter and remember how much cold is still in us.
We’ll never look back.
Im sure that you’ve been gone now,
For some time..
One day you’ll pass me and we won’t recognize
Perhaps we’ll glance back at separate times and suddenly a change of mind-
But keep walking and forget we ever knew each other’s lives
