My conscience was 
 Collapsed, shattered, 
 And deranged.
 Every passing day I had to question my sanity, 
 And regain my clarity. 
 Our life revolved around Us.
 And now,
 What are the promises for?
“Friends Forever”
 Was it just a phrase?
I try and erase the memories from my mind but
 I’m unable to succumb
 my heart to comprehend,
 For it is a cage of its 
 own rules. 
I’m now numb, as they say
 No pain, No gain!
But is this true?
 No more secrets,
 No more ‘I’ve got your back’,
 No more fun times and
 No more “through thick and thin”.
 Are we really back to strangers?
In this world of illusions 
 am I deluded? 
 If only this all was just a figment of my imagination,
 Apparently not,
 As dreams don’t break humans
 Instead they mould us.
 This is real!
As real as the early birds at dusk,
 and the sunset at
 dawn!
They say ‘relationships’ hurt
 Have they never experienced a friendship breakup?
 I hope not
 It’s inexplicable, 
 Too alarming, and
 Too touchy to ponder about.
We did meet as strangers but little did I know we’d leave as 
 strangers too! 
 A million memories flashed through me
 But I knew then there’s no tomorrow anymore.
 It’s foregone now,
 After all, at the end of the day it was indeed just a phrase
 “Friends Forever “
