Friends with a ghost

I lost a friend today.
My heart is shattered into a million pieces
The blow of reality pains me
I mourn time we spent together
I miss the familiarity of her face
The laughter until our ribs hurt
The tears as it stained each other's shoulders
The Joys in life
Comfort in hugs embraced
I was someone she could depend on
I confided in her with deepest heartaches
My heart will long for her even when I see her

You see,  my friend isn't dead,
she is sleeping
Something changed.
I took my clipped wings and learned how to fly
That change unfortunately was me...


Now her words pierce my soul in hopes that will cage my spirit once more.
She haunts my dreams without knowing it
I hope she can truly rest in the peace of
knowing that our differences took the life of our friendship.
Today I set my friend free
For along time ago, she did the same to me.
