Breaking Apart

Breaking Apart—August 2023

Sun breaks over the horizon,

opening a new day.

But now you have broken

off all conversation. What have

I done to haltour speaking

with respect to each other?   

It has put a brake on friendship.

I don’t feel broken hearted,

I guess I should be. It was

a long friendship but as you

said all things must come to an end. 

So I go along with my day,

your memory fading

like a breaking wave on the beach.
