Broken Bond

<<Thanks to @Thecatperson19 for critiquing this entry>>

There was once a beautiful sea,
Made out of friendship carefree,
And there were two islands in that sea,
That shared a bond, you and me

A bond that laid on the ocean floor,
Weaved together through many years
Of kindness, trust, secrets, and more
That connected us through happy cheer

But one day, from deep in the sea,
Came a pearl of truth, floating to the surface
A truth that came prematurely,
Bobbing on the waves of our purpose

And after, came a storm
Of tears, pain, betrayal, and agony
That rained upon us with lightning and more
And so we grew apart distantly

Over time, our bond held on,
Bit by bit until it broke apart
Two islands, now lost
We felt so much pain, now that we depart

Eventually, the storm faded away,
And over time, I realized my mistake
I wanted someone to help me through the fray
I started to miss you, and that’s when I began to break.

Life was crumbling piece by piece
I needed someone to be there,
But where you used to be
Was a sorrowful gush of air.

Working myself up to talk to you,
What would you say,
What would you do,
Despite my worries, I decided I would try today

But I realized you felt the same, mate
All that the past left us was regret
So we decided to change our fate,
We tried to talk and forget.

And bit by bit, over time,
We weaved back our broken bond,
Two little islands again entwined
And so our beautiful sea returned
