Sometimes

sometimes things just don't work out
the way we plan them to.
and sometimes we need a second plan
something to fall back onto.
sometimes the people we thought we knew
show their true colours.
when friendships fail
and ships set their sails
onto the ocean blue,
made of tears from disappointment
hearts of happiness now vacant
and hollowed out inside,
sometimes peoples chemistry's collide.
because sometimes things just don't work out
the way we thought they might
and it all seems fine and dandy
until an arrow pierces the bird in flight.
or maybe it was the snake spilling poison into its bite?
the way they did to me when we had our first real fight.
and I watch our friendship fail
while I set up my ship and sail
away from you,
on tears made from disappointment.
