The telephone sits quietly by the ripped up notes
And sits in the same untangled form
Because since then, nobody called
The favourite basketball stays ignored
On the corner of the bookshelves and forgotten Barbies
Because since then, nobody played
The carefully wrapped presents in blue and gold and green
Will forever stay unopened under the messy coffee table
Because since then, nobody celebrated
A sealed wine bottle cools in the fridge
Awaiting merriment and cheers which will never come
Because since then, nobody laughed
Because since then, an eerie silence took over everything
Like those cars screeching and skidding through the wrong side of the road
Like silence reverberating through everyone’s once happy dreams
Goodbye Friend
