Dear old friend,
Where did it all end?
When did the problems rise?
When did the laughter demise?
When did this distance form?
When did the clouds create this ominous storm?

Your words feel sharp and icy in the air,
And your eyes offer me nothing but a cold-hearted glare
We may be through,
But I’m stuck here missing you
Wondering what went wrong,
Maybe our bond wasn’t strong
Maybe I was just that bad,
Maybe I made you too sad
Maybe for you I wasn’t right,
Maybe I was a pain instead of a delight

Whatever the reason, I wish you’d come back,
Because sometimes I feel you’re the missing piece that I lack

I miss the old days,
When we said words in silly ways
Oh dear old friend,
Tell me, where did it all end?

I 100% relate to this. I love how I can connect with the speaker because of our shared experiences... losing a dear friend stinks, but you somehow made it more bearable (:

you convey the loneliness and longing of what went wrong in your writing with this sense of desolation and a broken connection. The questions as well as the questioning tone and slight rhyming of the piece really bring it together.

This is very relatable. You did a decent job at coming through.
