Once upon a time we were close
We were two peas in a pod
I held on a bit too tight
When the time came to forge our own paths
I was right to worry
That is where our rift began
The painful comparisons
My self loathing
I wanted a friend
Someone to open up to
I wanted the familiarity
Of what was once comforting
We shared so many secrets
We went through so much
We overcame and survived
We still carry the scars
We are strangers now
Wrapped up in our own worlds
With no grace for each other
Sharing loud silences
