Faded Memories

Writing prompt response

Back in second grade we were enemies

I stuck gum in your hair,

And you hated me for it

You made me sit in glue

It was your way of getting even

In third grade we were partnered

For a science project,

I thought the teacher did that 

For laughs

But the more we got to know 

Each other

The more we realized 

We had so much in common

We've been best friends 

Ever since,

But now you've changed

You're not the same 

You've found a new crowd

I'm not "cool" any more,

And all that we've been through

Is now a faded memory

That can never be clear again

There is no way that we can ever know why
another person acts the way they do.
Ask her. Even then you may not find out why
the change. People do not always change
willingly. Sometimes circumstances dictate
how people act.
Patience is your best friend. In time this will
probably work itself out and you will wonder
why it was important back now.
Good luck and God bless

An awesome job you have done, and relatable in some aspects at one time or another too, wonder if this is about 2 girls, I think so...great piece :)

Such a nice poem. It tells a really good story, y'know. Poor person.

T.T sad. Sad, but true. Somehow, this seems to happen all the time.

Emotional piece. Beautiful poem. :)

Friends are wonderful if they are true friends, but sounds like sometimes even though it hurts faded memories are the best. Felt the pain in this one!

Ta'Shandra I love, love, love this!!! The first 2 sentences absolutely HOOKED ME n' I madly adored the rest, as I am an absolute SUCKER for stories of childhood friends! STUNNING STUFF! ㋡

A very painful experience. Its hard to understand how good friends can grow apart but sadly it does happen. A very well written poem, very readable and easy to relate to. I think you did an awesome job on this!

[FallenWingz]
