Thought we would be
a life long link, chained to another
the type of friendship
others would crave

to have, or when others think of us, we would be a single-being, linked.
Now I ponder as a single being if
you are feeling similar 

phantom pains, every once
in a while do you think about
me too, or do you forget me like
you forgot I loved him too.

If left chained I fear...
no, I know I'd be
less of myself if I would
have stayed stuck in glue with you;

I'd be the person you shaped me to
be because you hated me as much
as you hated yourself too.
They asked why you had destroyed the

person I was with venom? I would say
you feared me leaving you and you
took a piece of me so
others would never know 
the little girl that picked flowers and
played with wolves,

as she would be simply yours. Because
we shared the fear of being unlovable since my daddy left my mom
and your daddy hits yours
till you hear her scream through

the door. I hope the little girl keeps
you warm and thaws out the person
I knew before. Still I wonder
if secrets kept, and memories shared 
are bitter sweet like you are to me
my dear Lisa.

This poem is about losing a friend for the better. It is one of my favorite poems I have written.
Ironically, also my first.
