goodbye to

us

and raise

a toast

to any

tearless night

that i

might endure

but we grow

apart

our friendship

scrubbed from our heads

by his

avaricious hands

taking you away

from me

our talking

washed away

with todays

tides

and shipwrecked

on a foreign

shore for

someone else to see

the message in

the bottle

is no

message at all

more of a

picture of a

friendship ending

to make

room for

him in

your

life
