Accidents Happen
by Angela Yuriko Smith
Friendships forged in dark
last longest. Tested by fire
drowned in salty tears.
Friends are for secrets.
Mistakes we’ve made, bad things done…
Accidents happen.
Friends don’t tattletale.
A true friend will die instead.
I can see to that.
Tomorrow we’ll laugh
a joke just between us three.
Together we stand…
…because accidents happen.

Spreading the Writer's Word 
Nice – great use of the prompt.
Thanks for sharing.
A delightfully dark and ominous poem.
Intriguing – there is as much unsaid as said – dark and thought-provoking
