Why?

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

  5. 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 💖

  6. 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.

    1. 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.💕

  7. 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.

  8. So many of these lines resonated with me. Thank you for writing such a beautiful piece, Grace. Stay blessed ❤️❤️❤️
