With broken bones, I cry <br />With broken heart, I wept <br />A broken friendship because we lied, <br />A life of promises unkept. <br /> <br />Differences to overcome <br />Side-by-side we compete <br />For a subtle win over one <br />We were nothing but hypocrites. <br /> <br />I wish it didn't turn out this way <br />Me hating you, you hating me <br />We were friends, we used to be, <br />Why can't we heed our hearts' secret plea? <br /> <br />I know I'm sorry, <br />And perhaps you are too, <br />But why is it so hard to say, <br />Even if all we want to do, <br />Was forget what happened, <br />And learn to forgive, <br />That we may be friends again <br />A broken friendship, <br />A friendship we mend. <br /> <br />And this a secret I have kept, <br />A secret, that's all I have left.: (<br /><br />Izobelle Pulgo<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/to-a-friend-22/
