A poem for my English class

What happens when friends are kept apart?

Are they filled with loneliness,
Like prisoner kept in solitary confinement?

Are they burning with rage,
Like a mama bear separated from her cubs?

Are they filled with hope,
Like a pregnant mother rubbing her rounded tummy?

Or are they avoiding life,
Like the plague?

Do they just sit around all day,
Like a bored teenager with no source of entertainment?

Do they lash out at everyone,
Like pit bull kept on a chain?

Do they talk about the good times and the future ones,
Like a grandmother talks about her grandchildren?

Or do they just sit down and die,
Like a person without Jesus,
Without hope?

What happens when friends are kept apart?
