Friendship Tragedy Poem by Fareez Phalez

It's sad it had to end this way
I wonder if it's even real
They say no relationship dies a natural death
They can only get killed

It's sad we had to be this way
No meeting, no calling, no texting
I wonder why we ignore each other
Yet we are always missing

It's sad things turn out this way
From close friends to cold strangers
Our hearts whisper each other's names
But we lie to ourselves pretending not to hear

It's sad we have such ego
A hurting heart with a stubborn mind
I wait for you and you wait for me
We both stand behind our lines

It's sad we were once so close
I wonder why we remain this way
To be strangers with memories
It's sad I still miss you to this day
