For You

With the sweetest eyes I’d ever seen
You smiled at me and asked, “Wanna play?”
My hand betrayed me and extended
Taking yours
And soon, your name was ‘friend’

How was I to know
How life would pull you away from me?
At what point did I let go
Of your hand?

With the saddest eyes you’ve never seen
I cried as I asked you, “What could I have done?”
My empty hands, shaking
Betrayed me again
And soon your name was ‘gone’
