Soaring Solo

From constant companion
to barely cohort.
It's hard to have union
when connections abort.
From life of the party
to unknown person.
It's hard to be hearty
when attachments worsen.
From deep veneration
to indifference.
It's hard degradatio n
when this causes offense.
From flying together
to soaring solo.
It's hard to break tether
when in turbulent flow.
From passionate lover
to friendship tingle.
It's hard to recover
when suddenly single.
