The Eclipse
The Eclipse
She was my best friend, a person to call my own
Memorable sleepovers — yearning for
How our futures would turn out, staying up until we heard —
The rooster's loud crow, we shared clothes,
Where the cloth was always so smooth and shallow
It felt our souls were joined as one, connecting us.
Now it feels coarse and rigid, my soul is shattered.
Her´s was not affected at all, deception at its finest
The warmth and comfort of her hugs fueled the sorrow of my cries
The blinding feeling of our friendship, did it mean nothing? —
Am I just as disposable as her past friends? Was everything a lie?
I thought she cared more, I thought I was different.
She was like the moon, I was the sun
So beautiful to each their own, never—
Meant to be seen together, never meant to overlap
Each other, and when they finally did, it was blinding

I wrote this piece because I wanted to capture how it feels to lose someone you held at a higher standard, I just want to let people know that they are seen and listened to with my poetry and I feel like this poem tells a story many can relate to.
