Unfriend

Friendship is a gift

not for people who drift

a relationship so precious

for one who is affectuous.

Must admit I’m sentimental

friendship isn’t incidental

it’s a choice people make

a risk people take.

Friendship isn’t for fun

a friend is a loved-one

looking forward to lend a hand

and ears that understand.

But when one bruises trust

the bond dissipates like dust

when people fail to make amend

it could be the time to unfriend.

Distrust is like a whirlwind

that can leave a home ruined

pain is a ruthless fiend

causing destruction too taxing to mend.

Sadness grips the heart

breaking it far apart

cutting deep into the soul

burning like hard coal.

It all happened suddenly

didn’t have time to think properly

I thought I did the right thing

by catching the bat swing.

But I failed to fight for a friend

I failed to shield and defend

leaving a wound instead

hurting deeply a beloved.

For welcoming a stranger’s hoot

a precious rose I almost uproot

it pains me deep to hear her weep

as long as it lingers, I won’t find sleep.

It’s never too late to say sorry

a heavy heart is hard to carry

mumbling a prayer in desperation

may the Lord grant the reparation.
