Literature Text

I am your
girl next door,
the one who watches for
falling stars every summer night;
who lets the rain hit her face;
who sings at the top of her lungs,
even if her voice cracks;
who still believes in fairies.

I was the daughter he never had

I was the friend who saved her mind


I was the stranger who dared to hug him back

I was the unseen shadow behind, making sure she got home safe


And I,
I am the girl
who was eventually ignored

I am the friend
whose trust she betrayed

I was the stranger
whose heart was crushed

I was the unseen shadow
who seems more like a hindrance to her
than a sister


I am the friend, yes
whose trust she betrayed
whose eyelids are drooping
and edges are frayed.
I have no idea where this one came from. I'm not in a bad mood at all, which is where most of my sad poetry comes from.
