Break ups are messy
For all those involved
It can leave you
Bitter, scathing and cold
But it affects others
Like family and friends
It can be hard
Whilst hearts try to mend
I miss my friend
Although you're not there
I can't pretend
That I no longer care
To my children
You'll always be their Auntie
It's different I know
But it's how it should be
I need not know
About all that's gone on
But I believe
Our friendship can stay strong
It's not about sides
Who is wrong or right
I hate knowing
That the two of you fight
It's a mess
One that I can't fix
Within all the gossip and tears
I don't want to mix
I want to stay neutral
Support as best I can
Not to judge
Just be who I am
So regardless
Although your life has changed
I'm still your friend
Though things have rearranged
It's like I grieve
Knowing things aren't the same
I feel lost
When others unkindly speak your name
We've had fun
Like the sister I never had
At this time
Remembering, makes me feel sad
I hope in time
That you'll know I speak the truth
That I'm still your friend
One that I don't want to lose
