A picture not quite complete.
Perhaps once a masterpiece,
Now a page of scraps.

The missing lips speak of silence,
The missing ears describe deafness,
And the missing eyes lack understanding.

Pieces erased, rips and tears,
Gaps and holes in a story,
Ye the holes tell the story themselves.

Like a word missing letter,s
A sentence missing words,
Not only the appearance doesn't seem right.

The missing eyes, lips and ears,
Silence, deafness, lacking understanding:
The signs of a failing friendship.

Was becoming pretty close friends with this person.. But then we started talking a bit less. I was away from school a lot on several excursions and as a result wasn't in class a lot to do this group assignment with them. One day that I was there, they all decided to leave me to go do the filming. Who knows what they expected me to do for the hour. They didn't leave me any material or knowledge of the work and they never asked me if I wanted to come or told me that all three of them would be going. I was quite frustrated and still am a bit. Apparently they expected me to be doing other work that I had to do (that had nothing to do with the group assignment). I had a go at the three of them for that. I feel a bit bad for doing so now, but this person still doesn't really listen to me on this subject so the other part of me doesn't regret getting cranky..

Anyways, we barely speak anymore. I just get turned the cold shoulder. Before the whole incident, we had begun to start talking less, although I think that had to do with the amount of work we both had to do. I don't know. I don't know whether it's all because of the incident or if there's some underlying issue or what. I know this person knows about my dA account and I sort of hope they stumble across this because i'm sick of it. I'm sick of not knowing what's wrong, of having a frienship that was flourishing get washed down the drain 8 days before we leave the school for good, 10 days until they move back to their own country - possibly never to be seen again.
Blegh. I've written enough on this.

Look over here!! All of you should seriously go read A Lost Friend by :iconcrusnik-02:
Although on a slightly different theme to my poem, it is an absolutely heart-warming tale! (And don't worry, it's not a 10 page essay. It is a short, sweet and beautiful story that accompanies a picture that was created for the Fella Around the World Contest). Please go take a look, leave a comment and fave! <3

With fixed friendship comes aching loneliness.
