Friends Depart

There comes a day
When the sky turns grey,
And the dark clouds move overhead.
When the rain that falls
Matches the tears that stream down your face.
The friends you thought would stay by your side,
Would support you through everything,
Would continue to be loyal
Even through the rockiest times,
The friends you loved,
And couldn't think of without,
Pulled away inch by inch,
Until all you could do
Was to follow behind their steps,
Walk through their path
And finally reach a destination;
But your friend is no where in sight.
