CINQUAIN Poem: Best Friends To Enemies, by Arshiya Dokania

In the dark, I search for your light
Wondering why, when I could have it right
If only once, we could ignite
A spark, a flame, a brand new sight

You kept me like a secret, safe and secure
I kept you like a hidden treasure, where only we endure
Through storms and through the sun, we held on tight
You kept me like a secret,
But I kept you like an oath.

From best friends to enemies,
We’re good till your dead to me
You said you’d never go, but here you stand
With a smile, you cut the rope, you understand
The pain you caused, it’s hard to forget

Thought we had forever,
but our forever was far too short
You took the key and locked the front door
No more laughter, no more light
Best friends to enemies, we were good till you turned on me

In the shadows of my room, I dream
Of you, like a ghost, I’m always near
Memories of your smile, so sweet
But now, just a memory, a broken beat

Echoes of unrequited dreams
In the silence of the night, they scream
Longing for what we could have been
But now, just a whisper, a lost scene
