Best Friend

When I was a little kid I kept to myself

I worried whoever I spoke to would rather talk to someone else
 
I cried myself to sleep 
I scratched at my wrists
I believed if I died I would not be missed 
 
But then came you
A best friend- more like a twin
We could talk all day and my mind could begin
to rest and quit thinking I'm not good enough
My head filled with good thoughts and genuine love
 
But then you left
My heart sunk deep in my chest
You forgot my birthday and partied with new friends
I get it, they're richer, they're hotter, they're cooler,
But it plagues me to see the end of our friendship is sooner
Than I could ever had guessed
You stole a piece of my sanity and I lost the rest
 
But now I'm a big kid and I keep to myself
I'm still worried whoever I speak to would rather talk to someone else
 
You left me how you found me,
How thoughtful, how charming.
I guess you never realized how much of me you'd be harming
 
You helped me up and then trashed me in the end 
 
Love always,
Thanks for being my best friend. xo
