I saw the sunset of a friendship
The other night, and
They tried, somewhat,
To delay it for another day.
Turns out that sunsets are
Stronger than water in the eyes
Stronger than words
Stronger than fondness
Stronger than emotion
Stronger than saying you care
When growth chokes on shadows
The sunset of a friendship is
A sad, little piece of death
Clinging to life beyond a moon
That cannot halt an eclipse.
