When souls collide.

You smiled, I looked away 
I was in a happy place, oblivious

Then I caught your eye by accident

Felt a smile coming on, couldn't hide it

Funny how you entered my space

Almost like a long lost friend

We connected instantly 

How truly bizarre, untimed

Your easy disposition, sense of humour

Like a drug, its hopelessly addictive 

Far from the usual vagabonds

A soul with substance, life

I'm glad I met you however untimely

I feel at ease around you

A few times I have caught my breath

But its all good, different

There's distance now

A little more space to grow

This friendship will blossom

Two souls connected, in time

Broken Bonds

We've laughed out loud and cried many tears 

Seen each other through many milestones in life

Stood by one another’s side firmly against the world

Understood our shared feelings well, or so I thought

For years we bonded making the most of every moment

Celebrated in our collective successes, at times over did it

We didn't have a care in the world as long as we were together

Our lives taking us in different directions but ending up close enough

We were the envy of most, the focal point of discussion for the idle

Nothing ever deterred us from being there for each other

We fought the cause of friendship the ties getting stronger each day

Until one day when all the bonds went to pieces

I thought our friendship could weather any storm

I never imagined things would turn out this way

Lust, betrayal, down right dis-respect fills the void of an empty friendship

We allowed the erosion to set in and destroy us

To disintegrate so fast the ties had to be lose

Each time I had your back it couldn't have meant much

Did I pledge allegiance to something that was not there to begin with?

Years into a friendship you never expect to be blind-sided

Yes, it hurt to figure things out and walk away

To realise that nothing was sacred within the bonds of friendship

As difficult as it was I now understand, this bond was not made to last
