Sometimes for
unfathomable reasons i do not fully claim to understand,
people come into your life
serving some unknown undesired unfulfilled
purpose
leaving faint sandpaper scratch marks
upon your heart
just as a pencil leaves a mark
upon an empty page.
these mysterious people for some unknown
reason they reach out and touch
your very soul & shake its roots
down to the core
and then???
who knows?
they disappear just as fast
as breaking glass
its like an accident
fracturing into fragments
which tumble into remnants
of a long forgotten
past.
people come, and people go…
I do not seem to understand the reasons why.
but I am frequently rejected, confused, shattered
in pieces wondering the why?
what did i do?
to drive them away?
what did i say?
What did i do?
to lose a friend
as true as you?
obviously
you never felt the same way.
obviously it was my fault
to think you would feel
the same way
as I
that you would want
to maintain our friendship?
instead you walked away-
or quite possibly-?
more like RAN away AS fast as you can.
I wasn’t sure how I hurt you.
you acted like i never mattered to you
in the first place.
but people come,
and people go…
it’s not for me
to even know-the why, the who the where the how?
just this fact-
that people come
and people go.
