Redolent Reminiscence are quotations of what were never said,
And what is not the same
There's always another reason
Another person
Another thing for us to blame
The anatomy of friendship has gone wrong
It's pulling at the thread of my pain
Provoking this anger that drives me insane
Now this campaign to revolutionize has left us all in pieces
And the signs are telling me that this is all a sign of weakness
Now all we say is relative
No matter how it seems
Or it demeans
Or it is spoken
The anatomy of friendship has been broken

Its about the hurt you go through when 'three becomes a crowd' in a turbulent friendship...

"There's always another reason

Isn't there? These days it seems there's no accountability or responsibility--just blame blame blame. It's hard when you have a falling out and you don't want to lose them as friends. You have to choke on it a bit, when really you're hurt and still feel betrayed. Sometimes it never goes back to what the relationship was before the damage. Good piece

Excellent...
Simply well put, makes one take a moment to think about what exactly friendship means to them...Stunning! -

WEll done for a first.
That is how it felt for me until I found my two best friends. I'm happy now but for awhile it felt like I was just pretending with my old friends. -
AMAZING
I LOVE IT.
amazing. the words are NOT too big, people are just stupid. this is absolutely amazing. the ideas are all amazing. amazing, amazing, amazing! i love you.
or...um...yeah. it's good. -
The big words didn't throw me one bit. I used to hide my feeling deep inside. Not anymore. I say it like it is. I'm sorry that this friendship has broken down. I've had many do the same, so I know how it feels. Thank you for sharing what had to be a painful time in your life.

Great
Like I said, maybe I'm just a little afraid of the apin, Emotional pain I can deal with because of my life, I've been forced to bottle it up. To get away I try to write. I write violent things sometimes, and I know it's because of what I've gone through. My friend painfully hides her scars because she's afraid of what people think, and I hate them when they call her stupid or weak, because she's not. She just had a different way of communicating her pain. Everyone has their way. Mine is silent suffering and words. But as always, I think of my friends. And my family. Anyone who cares is enough for me, some days...

Bravo!
That was pretty good.
Kinda confusing, yeah I'll admit, the big words threw me off. But it just shows your higher intelligence.
Sounded good, good flow.
I loved it! -
