Fractured Smiles

My group is in tatters...
the usual story
we came together as friends
split apart as rivals

I'm afraid it is my fault
I argued with a friend
It never stopped
Eventually it broke the group
That gave me all the love

We were tightly bound
Now we are scattered
Trying to heal the rift
Yet not knowing where to start
Start at the beginning
Work your way back up

The feelings of old arguments
Sure to come around
But all of us want to have each other back
So we sit there with our fractured smiles...

    Very Interesting

    It is hard to come together with people who know so much about you as you do of them. A reuniting has to be wanted by all before it will work and even then the split will raise its ugly head. Things each of you said to others that you would take back. Nothing kids like more is to see trouble among a close group, like a group of old ladies gossip is the green eyed monster.

    Heartfelt

    I'm glad that you see us all as friends. We really should talk to one another more and get back that friendship that we had for so many years and prior to our splitting up. The tears have been many and the hardships too. I do hope that we can come back together soon and be real friends again. There is so much for us to share together so why should we be split apart? I think if we can work on our individual relationships first then in the end we can all be friends once again. I'm working on my relationship with your brother as a friend and even more as a father. When you get the time give me a call. I'd like to hear about your new job too. And now that you are of the age to drink lets have one or two together sometime!

    I can honestly say that I know how this feels, and am deeply sorry for your pain. I'm sure things will mend in time. And as for the poem, it was constructed beautifully. Hope all works out.

    What once was.......

    What has been split can always be made whole. To truly be bound is to never be be alone, even though harsh words and feeling make it a painful binding. Not just one heart hurts, not just one soul weeps for what used to be. Pain and heart ache bind closer than love though love be the sweeter of the trio. Where love is freely given it can never truly be killed, if patience is practiced. Just because one heart is healed does not mean time has passed as swiftly for all. Give time and understanding as they gave love and comfort. Show in the truest essence that your heart yearns for all to be healed. Give freely without fear or doubt and see that the power of that purity can bring back feelings that have slept through the pain and anger, slept not died. Your words speak of regret and of feelings of remorse let too your actions show what your words speak. Join your heart and soul together and heal all the hearts that weep. That is the path I would take if it were my place to. Your poem is strong and pure in your feelings. Such sweet agony you feel. The strength of your sorrow does you credit, that you have not turned bitter and embraced hatred shows in a great way that love is your true calling. Now give to love and compassion the strength you give to your sorrow. Do not wallow in despair do not give it the power to steal your light. For we love you still, and fight just as hard to be able to be what once was. I am proud of you and I always will be.

    good

    I like how you put your life story behind this poem. You wrote down how you felt and you didnt really care how it looked as long as you got out what you wanted to say

    beautifully written

    i do quite like this poem....it's a good thing there's that little promotion feature on here, yes? well. i hope things get better. try apologizing....and if that doesn't work, just give everyone time. time mends all wounds. trust me. it could take quite a while, but if that's what it takes to get everyone back together, it's worth it. share this piece with them if you haven't already. it could help.

    best of luck
