The Cold Goodbye

Good old chums
no longer friends
once thought
to be
to the very
end
smashed into
smithereens
torn to
shreds
by new
beliefs 
a casualty 
of the
cold hard
axe
crazed
enraged
like
wild
macaques 
our beliefs 
no longer 
sacred
and respect
has been
thrown
out of
the 
bus 
it’s you
and me
and no
longer
us
and suddenly 
we don’t 
know
each other
anymore 
the aftermath 
of verbal 
war
each of us
shown to
the door
and common 
ground
is chewed
up like meat
by malicious 
anger’s
fierce
sharp
teeth
and we
stomp 
off in
rage
never to
meet
again
the door
slammed
shut tight
forever
locked
in enmity
then I’m 
left silent
and sad
