Abandoned Friendships

They leave a void in your heart

Never knowing if they will return

Leaving you wondering

Did I do something wrong?

Could I have done more?

Desperation fills the mind

Wanting to fight what must be forcibly accepted

Self criticism speaks loud in leiu of the silent response

Chaos circles the mind, a surreal sort of nature

Damaged relationships or those that have been lost

Good memories are all that can be remembered, thought plenty of fights ensued

Shall I accept my seasons of friendship?

Trying to recall the openness of the old soul which birthed the friendship to blossom

Hoping that reconciliation occurs in this life or the next

Subtle rejection and frustration of unbalanced feelings which lack their returned counterparts

I feel abandoned, yet again.
