I’ll never forget the night she was revealed. A sickly child, starving and hungry for power. Even under my eyelids and all alone I still see the cruel, malicious smile. You introduced me to her In the most casual way possible. Saying it was inevitable you and her met. I say she was thrust in life for misery’s sake. I’ll never forget the stains in the bathroom. That bitter smell still stings my throat And brings saliva to flood inside my mouth. Swallowing the bile, I see the glaring eyes. You reassured me that all was okay. The little friend of yours wouldn’t be around me. And yet, when you were gone I heard her. Silently, quietly, she sang songs of suffering. I’ll never forget her true, ugly form. Her body twig-like, hard, cold and disfigured. With veins sticking out and clouded dull eyes. The woman grew and separated us every day. I told you she wasn’t a friend. What sort of friends weighed others down? I was the good friend, was I not? Although I hated her, I still let her tag along. I’ll never forget the rainy evening When your friend told you to tell me the truth. Eyes like hers, you said, “I don’t want you.” I still sometimes feel those searing painful words. It was obvious who you wanted now. I took the hint, but I didn’t just turn away. I ran so fast, I stumbled, tripped, and repeated. Even still, I continue to run from the truth. I’ll never forget your eternal friend. Call it jealousy, but I hate her so much. She took my place in your life. And I still ask, “Why her and not me?” No longer am I like before. I ran, and managed to get safely out. Your friend is nothing but a cruel memory. But a memory I cannot forget. And yet even to this day, when I see others Just like your lying, deceiving friend. The pain comes back. I hear the whispers. And so, I run away for just a little moment. I’ll never forget all that happened When we were growing up with your friend. Now that the decision has been made, I wonder Have you completely forgotten about me?
