Abandon

The little girl with the long blonde hair

I couldn’t help but stare

She looked so happy and kind

To not adore her, you’d have to be blind.

We were so young when we became friends

Is there no way to make amends?

Over you, I continue to agonize

Will you ever realize?

When I see what you have become

Towards you, my heart must not come

You are no longer the girl I knew

When you did change, I have no clue.

You have said you are better off

At this comment I can only scoff

How can eleven years mean nothing

When to me it meant everything.

I am doing my best to let go

My pain must never show

I cannot give you the satisfaction

Of anything more than a stoic reaction.

Each and every moment

In the box they must seem important

Where they shall sit and collect dust

A ghostly memory of misplaced trust.

To open this box would bring so much pain

Because the whole thing was in vain

My life will never be the same

And YOU are the one to blame.
