Drifting
We used to be sisters, but now we don't speak
We smile in the halls, but the connection is weak.
My heart feels like it's been ripped in two
My life is so different without you.
You've left an absence no one can fill
I can't stand the way this is making me feel.
Where there used to be love, there's an empty abyss
To think that I once called you my sis.
I try to talk to you, but it's like you are deaf
There are no words to convey the hurt that you've left.
The book of our friendship was left unfinished
When my friendly ties with you diminished.
Every couplet I write, you know it's true
I can tell that this switch is just as painful for you.
Sometimes it feels like I barely know you
We've drifted apart…how can I show you?
