Friendship

I could tell by the mischievous glint in your eyes

I knew we would be the worlds demise

Like most friends we called each other names 

But nothing that couldn't be fixed by games 

We were convinced we would always be friends 

That our friendship knew no ends  

But time made us grow apart 

We didn't notice it at the start 

Time is the only game we couldn't beat 

So we started to retreat

Even though our friendship wasn't wise

We tried to ignore it knowing friendship was the prize 

But we had to admit defeat 

Knowing time had got us beat 

I regret that now looking at your grave 

Thinking about how we used to misbehave 

I walk away from your grave hearing the click-clack of my feet 

Wondering why we ever did admit defeat

What a wonderful poem. Very sad and I can definitely relate. I love the rhyming scheme you use. While I read your work I felt like I was there. My suggestion is to watch your spelling (although I'm sure it was just a typo) :
Feat- Feet

Also add punctuation in this poem. It will enhance the rhythm and there will be a break within each stanza.
