She was my friend, and now she's my fire- a short poem

A friendship that went vain. When one sacrifices everything for another individual, and that individual turns their back on that person; a wild fire is born in the heart.

My heart is twisting and turning inside my chest;

I feel the thumping and I'm doing my best;

As I try to remain calm while my mind screams;

WHY? HOW? WHEN? This has to be a dream!

I only broke away from you for a couple of months and I was simply sad;

I didn't know that things would turn out so bad;

You became someone who I don't even know;

I'm not sure if you are doing this just for some show;

my memories of you that were locked in a chest in the attic of my mind had opened wide;

All the flashbacks of you always laughing, sitting, cuddled by my side;

Now disappear into nothingness and get burned to crisp by my mind's fire;

I always felt, deep rooted in my pathetic, naive heart, that I was dealing with a liar.

The resentment radiates from this.

It's truly painful to lose a friend, you did put it in words rather nicely.

It's suiting too, 'cause I have a tip for you.

Kill your darlings.

Thank you. I honestly wrote this when I was feeling the most; I'm so glad that it radiated from my words. :)
