broken friendship

march 16

Today marks the day you were born,

but I cannot greet you.

Call it pride, ego or just being a fool,

I cannot greet you.

Many things I want to say to you,

I cannot say,

Many times I want to approach you,

I cannot come.

If there is a stronger word than miss,

then that is the word I want to use.

I miss you my dearest friend,

But I cannot greet you.

I feel like friendship is stronger than family because you choose your friends.you make a choice to have them in your life.you can't choose family.sad this friendship is no longer, but time may change that

This is a matter almost all people can relate to because at some point of our lives we had that friend we lost in connection due to some reasons, and maybe it’s a part of life. Your delivery here made me empathise with that emotion, of longing, of remembering all the good memories but just end up sick because of teensy bit of pride which is just human for all of us. Kudos!

thanks markus for the appreciation and yes it is a sad fact

The sad emotion of this poem is outstanding. I have had a few friends, who have backstabbed me or betrayed me before, but seeing how this poem goes to a friend's birthday, I think it all fits into the fact sometimes we all want to see our old or new friends that have been lost in our life.

Thank you for sharing that, the sad emotions behind wanting to talk to someone, too late after the damage has been done, really come across.

[sette]

yes and i thank you for the kind words

Emotions all over the poem, and it's true-"Call it pride, ego or just being a fool,
I cannot greet you."- sometimes, we cannot; but deep inside we wish them to achieve all those dreams they had once shared with us.we wish them all happiness all success but we cannot greet.

"I miss you my dearest friend,
But I cannot greet you." I too want to dedicate this poem to my friends . good work, you captured the reality.
