Broken connections,
haunt my dull mind.
Loss of affection,
leave trails behind.
Where did my friends go?
Who are they now?
Warm hearts turned so cold,
eyes filled with clouds.
A broken friendship
strums heart and mind.
A lonely steamship
without a bind.
Why did crossroads meet?
Why did we break?
Were we incomplete?
Was it all fake?
Memories linger
throughout each day.
Point a stern finger,
empathy sways.
It served a purpose
time just ran out,
scratch at the surface
release all doubts.
Greater wise lessons
cement alone.
Inner progression,
forms bright zones.

Beautiful and melancholy, Grace! People come into our lives for a season, a reason or for a lifetime. It can be heartbreaking when we think they are the life timers, but aren’t. 💞💞💞

“Broken connections,
haunt my dull mind.
Loss of affection,
leave trails behind.”
They do, and I don’t have any
answers. No idea what to
do about this…
Absolutely. One day at a time.💕
