Literature Text

Do you remember when
We used to tell each other
Everything
Without fearing judgement
Back before we both became
Broken bits of something
That once was beautiful

I suppose we were just children
And had no real grasp on
Anything
But I miss the days when
I didn't have to wonder
If you would be okay
Or live another day

Now we put on faces
As though we are strangers
And use the words "I'm fine"
As a barrier to hide behind
We pretend we don't know better
Than to believe
This lie

Where is my best friend?
I miss our conversations
Although, I suppose
You think the same things
But we are both too scared
To just let go, stop pretending
And let someone in

Mourning for our losses and moving on perhaps? 
Honestly, I think I never really had "true" friends until a few years ago. Maybe that's where I go my craziness Crazy 
It's strange though, we try to move on, but they hang on the edge of our mental cliffs of consciences. With the insecurity of other people telling others about what is "normal" they really separate the bonds of friendship.
