Shock Absorbing.


   When friendship fails
   After mutual faith has faltered,
   Memory and forgetfulness
   Swiftly exchange sides.
   Memory begins to zoom the negatives;
   Forgetfulness buries the glorious past like a corpse,
   Million fathoms deep, underground.
   As hatred breeds hiccups,
   The cleft widens into crevices and chasms.
   The scars of  a broken friendship
   Are deeper than the wounds that caused them.
   Faith in fascinating friendship,is frowned upon
   In unpalatable, retrospective revelations.
   As the truth gets unfolded,
   There are more shocks to absorb
   That rattle and let the mind wobble
   At the rickety realization that
   Sentiments have no set lanes to travel
   For masked human relationships.
                                              P.Chandrasekaran.
