Friendships Poem by Tobias Vireo

It begins with a smile, a friendly wave.
Hanging out, sharing everything.
We grow close, and our bond deepens.
But it breaks with fights, name calling, assumptions.
We end up in pity, anger, and shame.
Our friendships come and go,
And all that remains are the hurt and the lies.
Even if they were small,
The lies still hurt,
Every single one of them.
Maybe they were just jokes,
or maybe not.
