The story of two lives becoming distant over time, disgruntled at how their lives have changed, going from inseparable to Estranged, the writer pens. Enjoy this piece!
We used to be inseparable
What happened to the promises we made each other?
What happened to the love we once shared?
What happened to the magic we once created?
What happened to those sparks that once ignited our hearts?
What happened to that elation in your voice upon hearing mine?
What the hell happened to us?!
We used to be inseparable
Do you miss us?
Do you still think of me like I do?
Do you wonder what could have been?
Does your mind drift away in awe of our cold night chatters?
Do you still chuckle at my gift of gab?
What the hell happened to us?!
We used to be inseparable
You used to be my favorite person, as was I
Where did it all go wrong?
One day I couldn’t do without you, now I’m forced to live without you
When did your heart stop yearning for my presence?
You are alive but somehow, I’m grieving your absence
What the hell happened to us?!
We used to be inseparable
The boat we built together was rocked and never made it to shore
Could I have stopped the tempest?
Perhaps I could have been a better captain
But did I stand a chance against the pillaging pirate called Life?
In hindsight, I probably never did because He stole you away from me
What the hell happened to us?!
We used to be inseparable
I see you are living the future we once painted
While I am still stuck in the past we once shared
Your life feels perfect from the posted images
Mine feels like it needs some imaging
Because I may be suffering from a chronic heartache
What the hell happened to us?!
We used to be inseparable
How did we go from best friends to complete strangers?
I’m struggling to accept that this may be our reality forever
I lost the most beautiful connection I have ever created to a cruel pirate
I hate that I’m forced to move on because you did
I wanted to do right by you, but you chose Left
What the hell happened to us?!
We used to be inseparable
This gaping void cut deep
But like Leona, I keep bleeding love
Everything in me hurts
Nail on the coffin, Nail on the cross!
Losing you may have scarred me
What the hell happened to us?!
We used to be inseparable
Our story got off on the wrong foot
Sadly, it ended on the same foot
We could have crashed eventually, but I never left the station
Literally, you took off
While I keep training for the runway
What the hell happened to us?!
We used to be inseparable
A part of me died when I found out you didn’t have space in your heart for me any longer
A part of me died when I found out I didn’t fit in your schedule anymore
But it broke my spirit to find out I could never be part of your beautiful daughter’s life
I would have loved to hold her squidgy hands and nestle my fingers through her gloopy curly hair, but now she’s all grown
Little Jade went from the bassinet to the bed in a decennary
What the hell happened to us?!
We used to be inseparable
I got that dream job we once talked about, you should see me
Jason turned two today, you should see him
He just blew his candles at the party, you should see it
My life, Your life, Our lives, we should live it
Never in a million years did I think this would be us
But here we are, Estranged…
THE END…
