It started with the rain

hitting my skin, causing pain.

I ran off into the dark

A new journey on which to embark.

My mind was overrun with your memory

you were my dearest friend.

Now you're my adversary

Will it be this way to the end?

I tell this cautionary story

because it's not out of the ordinary.

From the moment our friendship commenced,

I put you on a pedestal out of reverence.

You touched me with your eloquence.

You said friends to the end.

Now I feel penitent.

Hoping the pain finally ends, amen.
