What Happened? Take 1

What happened to us? Sisters. Friends. No longer. Now just a memory fading away in the background.

Our trust? Broken. Our secrets? Shared with others around us.

Why did you go? I ask myself that every day. Though I always get the same answer. Nothing. Silence.

Just the sound of thoughts rolling around in my mind.

Best friends until the end. Is that not what we said? Why betray me? The sister you never had.

I suppose you never really cared about me. The promises you made? Now broken. Shattered.

Pieces of memories just waiting to be mended. But they never will be.

What happened to you? You left me behind in the dust. Never once have you done that. But I guess people change.

Time to move on. No longer are you my friend. My sister.

They say to forgive and forget? I'll never forgive. Nor will I forget.

True friends don't run. So why did you? I guess our friendship was never what I thought it was.

Time to say goodbye. Forever. You are no longer welcome in my life as my sister. Nor my friend.

You took advantage of my kindness. My generosity. My trust.

You are nothing to me now. And you never will be.

So now I say with a cold heart. Goodbye

Author's Notes/Comments: 

My best friend ran away in 2012 and I wrote two poems from two different perspectives the following year. This is the first. I have not shared these poems until recently.
