Old Friend

Written by C Hues

“You are my oldest friend”
That’s how I knew we reached the end
Not even “brother” or “best”
What’s worn on one’s sleeve is closer to another’s chest

An old friend is worse than any antagonist
There are enough enemies—you expect enmity
But the reminder of the bond that used to exist
Breaks our peace and severs serenity
