I am done with a friend

Have been for some time now

Not for any particular reason

I am just done

Mutual friendships encompass this friendship

Losing one may mean losing others

I am willing to let that happen

Can I put up a front so the friend doesn’t know we are done

That is so out of my character

I’ve never been one to be fake

Can I say have a good life, be done with it

Cruelty or a part of life

Kept are the secrets they confided in me

They are not to be shared

They have spoken of their sudden departure

It is not my doing

Life, Circumstances

Still it lifts my spirit

In time the friend is gone

Still, not soon enough

Be gone friend, be gone
