FRIEND OR FOE?

A friend,
    holding on to your hand,
         through intimate moments
            of shared experiences

                in life...

                    ...until
                one of you,
        decide it's time to let go
    on with a separate life.

A foe,
    breaking trust between you,
        through difficult times,
            of shared experiences
                in life...

                    ...until
    
                his spiteful words,
        of bitter malice
    opened up the heavens
for a down pour of tears.
