When we were twelve, wasn't it great? So different we were yet it just seemed like fate That we grew to be friends..."best" friends to boot! "You" felt too skinny...thought "I" was too cute. But I always knew that you'd blossom one day. And man did it happen! Blew all girls away! Seemed all that you did somehow turned into gold As you grew to new heights...once so shy turned so bold! And for YEARS this went on...you making your "mark" While "my" life was riddled with pain...much less "spark" Still, year after year, I was made full aware Of your "glamorous", "magical" life...all to clear. And year after year MY life kept getting worse But you didn't listen...your lines so rehearsed! Yet ALWAYS "I" listened to you...even when You were having "bad" days like your bouts with "those men" Who, so MANY, you can't even COUNT less recall And I'd talk to you ANY time you ever called--- One, two or three in the a.m. for hours! You'd tell me I had such incredible powers To "soothe" you with counsel..."such a good friend!" Yet for ME, well come on, lets not try and pretend That YOU have been there for ME...not NEAR the same--- Still, I am not trying to place any blame Just wanting, for once, to be honest and real... Don't want to be "friends" anymore is what I feel! There is MORE to this...WAY much more...you know too! But I'm way too tired to speak further of you. Take care, wish you the best in all that you do!Birth sign: Pisces
