One mistake, that's
all it took. You blame
me for the blood of the
brutal shattering of our
friendship, for all
the tears shed.
The bond is supposed to
last despite fights, mistakes
or tears. My words fell
collapsed upon the glass
and that was all it took.
We would make each other
laugh. Don't you recall those good
times? Can you forgive?
Would you? I look down at my
hands and see the blood of
our broken friendship.
It stains my hands.
The past cannot change
but hands may mend
those loose threads. Me,
myself and I take the shards
of glass from our hands as
we extend a hand and
our apologies to you.
Forgive and forget,
share and smile,
trust and take,
give and glow
is what a friendship is.
