I talked to an old friend today
Visited memories along the way
Listened to her new found pain
And spent the time keeping her sane


Endless questions of what went wrong
And how to begin her new song
Swirled like leaves in wind strong
But the heart wished to prolong.

Why is it so hard to let go
When you are betrayed by a beau
Your head says love's fatal blow
But your heart says love will grow

In the confusion and the change
Life must be rearranged
It waits not for the broken heart
But pushes forth a counterpart

There is no peace of mind
Only undoing the combined
Providing respite and kind
By stopping the decline

Somewhere in the mist
A small important spark exists
That will help one persist
In looking not to reminisce

I talked to an old friend today
Visited memories along the way
Listened to her new found pain
And spent the time keeping her sane
