It Took Two Months... Poem by Lauren Beasley

It took two months to build this friendship
It took an hour to tear it down
I don't know why you had to end it
While I was still around

A foundation built so strong
On loyalty and trust
Was crumbling all along
'Cause you did what you felt you must

This structure formed so completely
Every piece a perfect match
Yet when rattled ever so slightly,
Shattered like an egg beginning to hatch

A relationship that started well
A fortress in which to confide
Until the first few bricks fell
And I had no where else to hide

Weeks of labor, hours of toil it took
To forge us - sweat and tears I remember
Then, like a earthquake we shook
In a flash, all that remained were embers
