2 Sides 2 Every Story Poem by Bridgid Patrick

Once together, now apart
One still with a broken heart.
One saying it will never be;
The other fighting reality.
One looking ahead to another day;
The other looking for a different way.
One moving on with life at last;
The other still stuck in the past.
One with prospects full of hope;
The other desperately trying to cope.
One with no reason to wilt;
The other feeling burdened by guilt.
One with reason to feel so high;
The other with reason only to cry.
One with smiles on her face;
The other with loneliness in joy's place.
One seems so together from the start;
The other's life is falling apart.
One stands tall, strong, and proud;
The other's old self has been wrapped in a shroud.
One stands there, content with life;
The other deals with sadness and strife.
One is standing where happiness reigns;
The other's company is only her pain.
Two different sides, two different friends;
Two different people on opposite ends.
Two different outcomes from one event;
To a different path each person went.
