as friends divide

is it sad when friends divide, when friends choose to no longer be friends... it is sad when friends ask friends to choose between them and other friends... it is sad when friends reject each other and push each other away... it is sad today as i find that happening to friends of mine... sad to find some left out of the party tonight even after they stood up in court to stand by the friend who was being welcomed home... sad that the friend who needed them so badly back then finds reason to push them away now... sad that his he does not see that his wife made it challenging for even me to continue to stay close, but then, who am i to fault him or anyone... just wish they all would see the divide they created did not have to be... but they forged it tonight and once walls are built, bringing them down will take serious effort on both sides and i do not see that effort in their eyes or words... alas, they will all see less of me for i do not have the time to be in two places at once and i will, as long as there is no mention of choosing between them, stay friends with both sides of the wall... and others as well... as i've been all through this life and as they've known me to be in the time they've known me, i welcome the positive and redirect the negative...

don't let it bring you down, it's only castles burning... but still, who wants to see friend's castles burn?...
