What I've learned of friendship

A trio there through thick and thin
This was the way it was
To be alongside one another
When crying led to hugs

It was within these timeless days
Where hours seemed to fly
With coffee cups and chocolate puffs
And lingering goodbyes

Then utopia was hit with storms
The elder had to go
It was not safe within this land
The signs began to show

Startled parents torn apart
The sea raged on for blood
She turned for help and saw no pair
Her face began to flood

Into the sea, which turned dark red
She let her body go
The others went about their days
Past memories below

The storms raged on all night and day
She could not take the pain
But fought her way past many beasts
Her life to be regained

Her body washed upon the shore
With strength she lifted upwards
But those two girls had long since gone
No footprints of the others

The sand untouched she marched herself
Right back to castle doors
But they had turned away those thoughts
That trio was no more

One looking for her own salvation
The other close behind
The girl looked through the windows
No more love within her mind

They had not helped her fight the dark
They'd turned to keep the light
She belonged no longer in a group
And with tears gave up the fight

Time passes all at once it seems
But friendship should endure
Trust finds itself beneath the rubble
For heartache there's no cure
