When we first met I was intimidated,
Your persona was light and bubbly
Your positive opinion was all I favored
When you never shyed away from your position thats all that mattered
Over time I learned you were slow to warm up
Our mindset was always alike
Very friendly but encouraging
Like myself you’re cautious and nervous to open up
We crossed many bridges over time
We became the best of friends
You became part of the family
I could confine in you for any task
I’ve showed my loyalty
And you’ve as well
I wasn’t the closest to you
But we seemed to always agree in the end
We were a forever thing
We shared laughs
We overshared emotions
We trusted each other to the point where if they didn’t know the end of the story
They would’ve assumed we were relatives
Then you started to shift
The reason unknown
Jealousy may have been the catalyst
But your feelings still to this day is a lost song
I longed for our talks about the future
But it seems I was blind
You longed for a connection deeper then the ties we mended
But I wasn’t the one for you
We molded together for another not eachother
I went out of my way to make you feel part of my life
Regardless the situation I was there for you
I was like your shadow
You understood I was always going to be split in two
I wasn’t for you
I was a borrowed light
Nevertheless
You always wanted more
I wasn’t upset or ashamed
I was happy for you
I would’ve gossiped with you
I would’ve supported you
I would’ve helped you spit it out if it was too much to chew
That doesn’t mean I would let you stab me in the back or bite off a limb
You committed a despicable act
I wasn’t critically hurt by it because it gave way for a divine shine
But the middle page was ripped
And for that we could never be the same
There’s nothing I would say
You wrote a new note and pinned it to a different leaf
You crushed the remaining branch and let it hang off our tree
The act was expected but the plan was poorly written
The tree you vandalized was the same one you planted the seeds
For that your character in my mind has forever changed
The clouds will never part for your ray
The final words were from me bidding you au dieu
The image I cultivated for you in my mind was tainted
The time we shared was waisted because of you
You had a friend in me and I would’ve gone to the end of the world for you
But now i hope you kick rocks off the side of a cliff loose your footing and meet your end to a perfectly placed brick
The sight of your name makes me curious
Why’d you make a 180 for some prick
So I did some digging
Found a fossil
Some ancient rocks
But no sticks
You weren’t coerced into your decision
You weren’t being pushed away
Things could’ve happened differently
But you seen an out and left alone
For that my feelings towards you remain the same
A no good piece of paper I should’ve burned when collecting wood for starting the grill
For those who took your place
The same fate aligns
A lonely path down a windy road
In the middle of a quiet forest
At the end of a bountiful winter storm
The brakes are frozen over and the sound of a tree’s roots snap
Followed by the gust of a head-on crash
The last leaf of autumn has dropped
What happens next depends on the season of change
I know you left your gloves and scarf at home because you didn’t plan to head to the store
But I left and the house has since been resold
As for your things
Maybe you could check the goodwill
A little birdie told me they make good use of peoples past
