Cracks on my ceiling

Our cemented connection was never supposed to break 

It was never supposed to wither away 

Wish I could join you in your journey 

But if I do , I’d convince you to stay back with me 

Because when you miss someone , you reminisce their memories 

How you & I met on the first day of middle school 

And made the music of you & I , my favorite melody 

Humming in the corridors , you made me the audacious , as I am now 

Started as friends , thinking bout being close forever 

High-school ‘s been bit tough we ‘ve been further apart 

Looking at the cracks on my ceiling 

Reminds me of us , the crack in our friendship which wasn’t supposed to happen 

Used to buy us dark chocolate at the mart 

And singing funny songs and rappin and tappin 

Ahh what memorable and enjoyable moments we had

We were like cheese and cracker 

Couldn't even stand a day apart 

Now all i got are cracks on my ceiling

And memories of all the warm and tingly lost feelings 

Author's Note

Just a reflection on a former best friend .... Hope you find this poem somewhat relatable !

Cracks in a friendship can survive, but if left unattended can become broken beyond repair. Sad when that happens. Sometimes people grow apart, ither times they have disagreements. Relatabke poetry Kathy.

WAAAY back in high school, I remember thinking I could stay in contact with these friends forever. But life goes on in an unpredictable way, so we often lose touch. In my case, I reconnect with high school friend many decades later when Facebook is invented. Everyone reaches out like we're old buddies. But we've lived these vastly different lives & we have nothing in common anymore. Your writing is always thought-provoking! (((HUGS)))

Yeah i thought the same , i haven't lived the life the way you have so i think im bound to meet whole lotta people .. Thanks I try ;)

I found this very relatable Kathy. I had one such friendship that had lasted years. I thought it would stand the test of time. Two peas in a pod, or so I though.But there you go! You win some you loose some.Better to make pictures out of those cracks and move on.
Enjoyed the read. Take care.

Love Kathy

Thanks Kathy, this takes me back to my young loves, there is nothing sweeter in memory, if you retain the happy moments and lose the not-so-happy. The latter I am still working on, with moderate success :)
... And now, I am required, by the Adult-Big-Yawn handbook, to reassure you that will have many young loves still to come :)
I love your use of your cracked ceiling in this wonderfully written piece :)

[Kathy Mc Cathy]

A sad yet honest assessment of friendship. I have had a few I thought where our friendships would never end and last forever, but that's not always the case for most unfortunately. Thank you for sharing your thoughtful poem with us.

Thanks Katzie , I wanted this poem to be relatable to remind of someone they either lost or are not in touch with during these unprecedented times .
