Fractured Circle

16 2 7
                                    

Three pals, so tight, like birds of a feather,

Laughing and sharing, come sun or bad weather.

A fourth friend joined, seemed all was fine,

But soon brought discord, like a twisted vine.


Words were spoken, trust shattered like glass,

The trio now fractured, like a broken compass.

The newcomer's motives unclear and sly,

Left the trio wounded, asking Why?


Though time may heal and wounds may fade,

The quartet's tale, a lesson portrayed.

In the book of friendship, a page may turn,

But the fourth friend's shadow will always yearn.
