From Nowhere to Nowhere

From Nowhere to Nowhere

A Poem by Jules K.
"

If your best friend has ever been separated from you on neutral terms.

"
How long have I known you?
Regardless, here we are
In your childhood room
Breaking each other's hearts.

You look at me forlornly
As I stare back, resigned.
We thought we were born to be
Sisters for life. 

I trace the road map 
In your iris. 
I can see the mountain line: 
Edge of Pupil's Crest. 

You decipher my atlas.
My own hills and valleys
Made of brown and blackness.
You can't make out the trees. 

Both landscapes are bleak,
Lacking details our hearts share. 
I know they both lead
From nowhere to nowhere.

I see your geography flatten
And I know you've surrendered.
This was expected to happen,
Our lives simply had a fender bender. 

It felt deep and genuine,
But the road is too narrow. 
Our cars: located in our craniums
Bumped and swerved on the road.

Author's Note

Jules K.
This is mainly about when life pulls two people apart even though no drama went on between them. Just a simple ending because fate changed her mind.
