No one prepares you for the grief of a friend

Losing a friendship

Something where you both gave without expectation

With no thought of return

No promise of romantic love or devotion

But commitment, never the less

And when that leaves

When that friend no longer holds out that branch

The branch in my hand is left grasping

Held in empty air

The leaves wilt and fall delicately to the ground

My arm shakes and aches

And finally drops like the dead
