My Covert Knight....



Beloved covert knight
Drifting away so sadly
You are my dear friend.
~*~*~*~

I thought that I knew you

But now I'm not sure



You used to be friendly

But not anymore



Each day we grow farther

Apart and I'm sad



We used to be best friends

The best I ever had.



At some point things changed

And our lives split apart



I miss you so much

In my life – In my heart.



Sometimes things must happen

And friends drift away



I wish it weren't us

I wish not this way.


~*~*~*~

Prompt: KNIGHT


Also for Haiku Heights

    But then that's what is essence of life.. Amity... some will go, others will come.. and we would be gathering good and bad experiences...You have expressed it so well..

    I think the sad fact of friends drifting away is why I keep to myself so much these days.  The pain is unbearable.  Thanks for giving words to the feeling.

    Great flow of words Amity, loved the poem.

    Thank you for your comment. As my book is being self published I have to put them on different places to sale myself, eventually they will go on Amazon.co.uk but I have to wait for them to send the packaging. I lost track with lots of followers due to pc fault but now has a new one, had it not been for Alex J. Cavanaugh mentioning you I would never had known how to get in touch.
    Hope you are well.
    Yvonne.

    One is wise who does not expect permanence; everything is change. Happy is he who embraces alteration.
