I Lost My Friend Because I Caught Feelings  

I lost my friend  

Because I cared

Because a truth  

Rose up

Declared

A quiet spark  

became a sign

A God that stepped  

Inside the line

I tried to cage  

The growing fire

But myth obeys  

No small desire

You felt the shift

The omen’s wing

The air that chills  

Before it stings

I crossed a mark  

No mortal drew

A path that split  

In two

Then grew 

My chest revealed  

Its ancient lore 

A vow I kept

But couldn’t store

The moment broke

A sacred bowl 

And all its light  

Poured from the soul

You walked away  

Like fading kings 

Like someone bound  

To sever things

And I remained

With what I knew

Love is a thief

That steals in two

It takes your calm

Your mortal breath

Then asks for more

A quiet death

It claimed the bond  

I called my friend

And left me here  

To comprehend

I caught a love  

Too fierce to bend

And in its myth  

I lost my friend
