The Break Up Poem by Phil Soar

We witnessed the break-up of a couple we knew
She, her best friend and my best friend too
We’d known them so long it was hard to explain
The sadness we felt as they endured this pain

The secrets and lies and the common sense rules
Their hurt being caught and the lies of the fools
When the love that was evident right from the first
Has now been replaced by the lust and the thirst

And as two close friends throw the memories away
Look what’s it’s done to their lives every day
The bickering arguments coupled with guilt
Destroying the partnership they have both built

We witnessed the break-up and watched it play out
The agony of this left such anguish and doubt
And now that they never express how they feel
The break up is final, extensive and real
