Where I Refuse to Follow

Today I am hit anew with the pain of losing my best friend.

She didn’t die, didn’t move away.

She made choices I don’t understand,

Went where I refuse to follow.

I thought I knew her,

Thought I was a better judge of character.

I’d never considered there would be a time

When I couldn’t

Turn to her,

Seek her advice,

Cry on her shoulder.

But she hasn’t confided in me,

She’s only pulled away,

And went where I refuse to follow.

Things will never be the same.

I have lost a piece of my heart.
