Society prepares you for romantic break ups

You ugly cry

You eat ice cream

You rant and scream

You delete all evidence of them

You watch trash TV with your friends

No one prepares you for best friend break ups

Because all those things you would do

if it were a boyfriend or girlfriend drifting away

You’d want to do with them

Your best friend

But what do you do when they’re the ones

Floating away

Just out of reach

I don’t know how to do this without you

Did I push you out to sea?

Or did you choose board the boat yourself?
