The best friends has now reached a crossroad and don't know whether their friendship will survive or wilt like so many others. The poem is about friendship and how two friends can end up hurting each other, whether deliberately on unintentionally.
Crossroads
There were promises made in childhood,
In the days of their innocence
They laughed, they played, they cried.
Throughout high school dramas,
Broken hearts, and adolescence,
Their special friendship thrived.
The little girls grew up and
Became wives and mothers
It happened in an instant.
They gave bridal and baby showers,
Each advising the other
Still close across the distance.
One day, the inevitable happened,
An event that changed their lives
It had the power to destroy.
They were both the betrayed and betrayer.
Can their friendship survive?
Or will they live with the void?
Or will they live with the void?
