I've been walking this path,
for what feels like a lifetime.
All of these familiar trees and flowers,
feel as safe as your hand held in mine.
We've seen such beauty together,
walking down this path.
We've seen our share of bumps too,
but nothing we couldn't step over.
We've stepped over each one,
hand in hand, arm in arm.
Even when the path widened,
our hands held strong.
But it seems now we've come
to an impassable crossroads.
Maybe I took us down a wrong turn,
but now we can't turn back.
As I feel your hand slip
out of my grasp and fall.
My hand gets cold,
it's been so long since it laid by my side.
As we start walking apart,
I look down my path,
I get scared by what I see,
I can't see where our paths join again...
A tear falls to the ground,
and I realize it's raining.
Through the murk I can see your crying face,
and a raindrop stabs my back.
My legs are walking,
down the blind and muddy path.
My mind is still standing with you
at the crossroads where we left.
Now we walk alone,
on our separate paths,
wondering what will be next.
Who knows where Fate will take us now.

Mmmm great wording, you really captured the emotion you wanted to portray and painted a picture. Life has gotta feel like it sucks right now... but sometimes it can help you in the end. Im sure your paths will meet again, and maybe this break will make it all better in the end. Goodluck

Wow... intense, bittersweet, and so so sad. I hate when my path turns from someone I know. Its been happening a lot this year... walking beside someone who was always there, who was supposed to always be there... and suddenly... they arent anymore. Its the most miserable lost feeling in the world.
And you captured that feeling in this poem. Distribute the knowledge wisely, I suppose there are some who do not deserve to know how much it hurts when they screw up and walk away. Cause it hurts them as much as it does the ones who are being left behind...
Great write, great job, keep it up.
