Broken connections,
haunt my dull mind.
Loss of affection,
trailing behind.
Where did my friends go?
Who are they now?
Warm hearts turned so cold,
eyes filled with clouds.
A broken friendship
strums at my mind.
A lonely steamship
without a bind.
Why did we meet?
Why did we break?
Were we incomplete?
Was it all fake?
Memories linger
throughout each day.
Pointing a finger,
empathy swayed.
It served a purpose
time just ran out,
scratching the surface
releases all doubts.
Greater learned lessons
cement while alone.
Inner progression
within my bright zone.
– Grace Y. Estevez- Reddy
I was talking to a friend the other day about how people just “grow apart”. “Was it all fake?” Were we ever even friends? True words, great post!
Thanks so much! I appreciate hearing that.💕

These lines are marvellous dear..! I can’t pick my favourite stanza..! Because this whole piece became my favourite..! Very BEAUTIFULLY penned my dear..!🤗🤗💖
I am so glad it touched you, dear Filarance. Thank you so very much for your kind and heartfelt words, my friend.❤️
You’re very welcome dear..! It’s absolutely my pleasure..!💖
That was a great poem Grace and I ponder those questions too at times. life is so interesting like this. Connections of the heart are never lost but there is a distance in physicality which can be hard at times. xo 💖
You’re so right , Cindy. Strong connections are never lost. Love that! Thanks, my friend .💕
we just have to remember with our heart but still we miss them. xo you’re welcome Grace!💖💖💖

Thanks for this evocative writing, Grace. I am pretty sure a lot of people can relate to your poetry, just like I do.
Happy to hear that. Thanks so much.💕
Sometimes, people you thought would be your friend forever just…stops. And sometimes you never know the reason why. This has happened to me a couple of times, and it still bothers me.
I can relate.It took me a while to learn to keep moving forward.Sometimes paths drift apart to later reunite and at times they drift apart to make room for the new.💕
Tis true…🙂
This happens to all of us at some point, doesn’t it? Your poem makes me sad thinking of some of my friends I was very close to once, but drifted apart with time for no reason. Beautifully written Grace.
Thanks, Vignesh. It is pretty sad and does occurs often. Sorry it brought back unwanted memories. Much love to you.❤️
Oh, you don’t have to be sorry 🙂
Welcome 🙂
