The friendship that was so important to you
that you broke my heart to save it
now rots away on the vine.
Sick and dessicated,
poisoned with neglect.
A friendship is like a hothouse orchid.
Fragile,
without love,
care,
and affection,
the flower withers and
fades away,
Leaving only the remains of what was
and the ghost of what could've been.
