Love Poem: Torn

Torn

For twenty-five long years they loved each other 
Good friends of mine, like sister and brother
 
We've double-dated so many a time 
And we helped each other to reach the hills we'd climb
 
We laughed, we cried and shared our emotions 
And gave to each other our life-long devotions
 
Then, I heard they were getting divorced 
And just like that a relationship lost
 
I'm sure when I say that they both have been hurt 
By the words that they've said in anger they'd blurt
 
But I can't stop my feeling of hurting for them...and me too 
For the loss of this fine couple that my wife and I knew
 
I feel kind of empty in my soul and my heart 
Hoping for the best, for them both...a new start
 
Perhaps, one day they will get back together 
By chance that they don't- I'll still love them both...forever
