eye to eye, staring into the face of the one you adore
the one who lifts your spirits, when demons are beating down your door
the one who completes you
until the end
your best friend
& now the end is at your door
staring you in the face through the eyes of the one you long for...
your worst enemy
speechless at the podium, as your audience awaits
anticipating the thoughts & feelings; you owe it to them
as they sit patiently
waiting
while every emotion is already written on the sleeve of a tear soaked t-shirt
blatantly
there's nothing left to say
everything that is, we made it that way
dreading the day that we'd reach the end
& although we promised we'd always be friends
I can't pretend
I can no longer fathom the energy
to fight for what's clearly out of our hands
