The Split | Krystle
I celebrated it alone
How I wish you’d have gone
I was overly exuberant about it
Your demeanor was deflated
Couldn’t entertain me
Even falsely
As the day drew closer
I felt you becoming colder,
Saw the struggle to endure
Attempts to simply ignore
The elation dancing on my profile
Why couldn’t you at least fake a smile?
It wasn’t your cup of tea
So you couldn’t make an exception for me?
We used to be inseparable
Now we’re questionable
I’ve been by your side
Witnessed as you cried
Begging for the pain to subside
You remember when you almost died?
I saw my reflection in the steel
It was more suited for veal
You almost fell off the edge
Had to talk you off the ledge
Unlike Amy
It was beneficial for me
Can’t believe you missed my graduation
It was a tough rehabilitation
Maybe I’ll get a hug
And not another drug
From someone who appreciates me
And will always accompany me
No matter how long the journey
I bid you arriverderci
I pray you don’t crash
Or do anything rash
Though we’re choosing different paths
I still think of our laughs
And wonder if our roads will ever intertwine again
I’ll miss you and good luck old friend
