From Start to Finish

Ever had a good friend who began to go from an innocent flower to a thorn bush?

Last year of elementary school

Met you with a nervous look

Your nose stuck in an interesting book

I stood staring at you with an interest

My feet led me to you

Voice cracking while a spoke 

You were quite amused

I felt kind of proud

We were young

So carefree and little

We didn't know about the real world

We just carried on with what we had

Everything changed the next three years

Especially you and your emotions

A bit unstable and confused

Deep in a black hole where it was hard for me to reach

Tears rolled down your face once

Making me wonder what could be so wrong

What in this world is making you sad?

Then I saw the wounds on you

It started with something small

We were so young 

We were starting to see the real world

It was scary and I did not know what was in store

Then we grew even more

You started to get better

Then you started to meet new people

People I had a bit of interest in

Those strange new people were okay

I got to know them better

Which didn't turn out great

My heart started to shrink

I could not believe what was happening

Why would you do such things?

Is it my fault?

It is isn't it?

I believe I went wrong somewhere

I said something I shouldn't have

Or maybe you are starting to dislike me

Why won't you tell me why you are doing this?

It helps you

They always say that don't they?

I mean when you say it helps

It really just hurts you in the end

We are straying

And this time I feel like it will be permanent

Will it?

If it does, then I will be lonely

Can you not hear my pleas?

I cry every night knowing what has happened

My cries will never reach you

You will turn them away and go

Leave me

I don't care

But when I leave this world

What will you do next?

Nice one. The theme of two friends getting closer and then separating is sad. It happens a lot though. Good job.
