The Smile Turned Frown
Your best friend,
her smile,
her eyes,
her laugh,
her compassion.
You're throwing that away.
Your best friend,
her advice,
her care,
her touch,
her knowledge.
Why won't you stay?
The reason for her smile,
the brightness in her eyes,
the meaning in her laugh,
is now leaving her.
She helped you through everything,
a break up,
the recovery,
depression,
and fights.
You ignored her for the week,
and it killed her inside.
You told her it made you happy,
and it completely broke her.
That considerate girl frowned,
and her eyes welled up with tears,
"Is this goodbye?" she asked.
"Possibly. For now, yes," you replied.
You killed your best friend.
Her sparkling eyes grow dull.
Her heart shatters.
Her laughing stops,
Her smiles turns into a frown.
You're throwing her away.
Your best friend would do anything for you,
and you were aware of that.
But you took her happiness, joy, and meaning away,
and said goodbye.
Now she's left with that shattered heart, alone, angry
The tears stop falling after ten minutes,
and she's ready for the next challenge life throws at
her.
Although you may have broken her,
You still made her stronger.
