What exactly caused the rift between us?

Was it the weight of words or the silence?

Or the shackles of arrogance?

What was it? Can we not discuss?

Years passed in hush; a decade plus,

The loss hurts deeply, but hides in distance,

What exactly caused the rift?

Still can’t understand why the feeling died,

Our relationship, once a drifting cloud,

Now veiled in fog, quiet but loud.

I searched for answers, but my soul just cried.

What exactly caused the rift?
