Once together, now apart <br />One still with a broken heart. <br />One saying it will never be; <br />The other fighting reality. <br />One looking ahead to another day; <br />The other looking for a different way. <br />One moving on with life at last; <br />The other still stuck in the past. <br />One with prospects full of hope; <br />The other desperately trying to cope. <br />One with no reason to wilt; <br />The other feeling burdened by guilt. <br />One with reason to feel so high; <br />The other with reason only to cry. <br />One with smiles on her face; <br />The other with loneliness in joy's place. <br />One seems so together from the start; <br />The other's life is falling apart. <br />One stands tall, strong, and proud; <br />The other's old self has been wrapped in a shroud. <br />One stands there, content with life; <br />The other deals with sadness and strife. <br />One is standing where happiness reigns; <br />The other's company is only her pain. <br />Two different sides, two different friends; <br />Two different people on opposite ends. <br />Two different outcomes from one event; <br />To a different path each person went.<br /><br />Bridgid Patrick<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/2-sides-2-every-story/
