I wonder if you were ever aware of what you were doing. Did your hidden jabs and snide comments register in that brilliant brain you were so proud of? Or did you simply not care? Was being your closest confidant supposed to come with a warning and I simply lost it? Was my five-year-old hyperactive mind too blinded by the concept of a real friend to read the fine print? You were supposed to be my support system just as I was yours. You were supposed to build me back when I fell apart. But you choose to belittle my choices and now I’m falling into an abyss alone because my safety net blew away, lost in the wind.

the muse:

This is a collection of poetry about one person, her name was Alexa. 

Dear Lex, 

You were my childhood best friend, who I thought would carry the title forever. A young girl’s dream, I realized too late. No one is meant to be there forever, they come and go at different parts of our lives and they leave us stronger than we were before. I am better for the person you helped me become, and you will always have a special place in my heart, even if you aren’t the first person I call anymore.

sincerely,

- a.k.n.
