true to ...

tested friendships

feeling nervous

an opinion offered

a vehement objection

ancient fear of rejection

twinge of indignation

can't stay silent

about blatant hypocrisy

affecting you and me

i would die for you

or has that been forgotten

all of our years together

have we grown that far away?

alas i live in my own skin 

navigating the world

striving to find my way

knowing who i must be true to

Author's Note

My heart is heavy. I don't want to let go of a lifelong friend.

This has been feelings I have felt myself with a close friend, confusion of why she felt our friendship no longer existed because of a growing distance that has occurred naturally over time with our ever changing lives...I was sad and disappointed because I'm a deeply loyal person and no matter the distance or time apart a good friend will always be a good friend. You captured those feelings very well!
