After We Were Friends - Poem

Hi friends! It's been a long time since I've posted a poem on the blog. So here is a sad autumnal poem. I hope you enjoy it!

Dissolving,
Like dried autumn leaves
You tried to keep by pressing
In a novel. 

Falling apart
Like the croissants
The two of us
Used to share.

The poets and the songwriters
Spend lengthy amounts
Of ephemeral time
Writing about dead
Love.
But few talk
About falling out
With your dearest friend.

They sing about
Seeing him 
With other girls,
But not about
Your best friend giving you up
For a cute boy.

​It’s strange isn’t it?
How we pass each other in the street
Trying not to meet
Each Other's eye.
Hows life now?
Life after we were
Friends.
