Drifting up, up, up

Never ending its rising journey,

Towards the sky

My balloon floats away.

Away from me

My warm home, my caring soul.

The balloon that kept my secrets,

The balloon that aided my sadness,

The balloon that guarded my happiness,

My balloon is soon gone.

So is my friend.

Heart is aching,

Smile is fading.

Friends change easily,

So like a butterfly,

I fly away.

© Simone P., Summerville, SC

The author's comments:
I wrote this based on a good friend of mine, who I drifted apart from. We told each other everything and now they aren't as close to me as they were.
