Abandon

This word conjures up different possibilities:
resign a job, discard a project, quit a game

Yet, this word can change your world.

You and your friend have been side-by-side
for a long time. Been through some stuff.

Then one day something happens, it’s serious.
You wait for your friend to step up, speak up.

The silence is painful.

Your whole being feels strange and cold,
where once it had been cozy and warm.

May Your Glass Always Be Half Full
