I thought I’d found the perfect friend,
But it all turned out to be pretend.
Shall I tell you story of my life,
That was once joyful and full of strife.
It all happened one glorious day,
When the birds sang, and on the sand I lay.
Thinking of the warm Tropical breeze,
Rustling thorough the fresh Angsana leaves.
I felt the wind brush against my tender cheek,
And opened my eyes to take a little peek
To my utter surprise, I saw the Bully named Brice.
Edging towards me with that stare in his eyes.
I scurried to my feet,
He said I was ‘dead meat’
Afraid as I was, I turned around.
I tried to run, but my feet stuck to the ground.
My body went limp and my knees gave way,
I collapsed to the ground, Brice had nothing to say.
I know myself that I had a really weak heart,
I collapsed on my own, but Brice played a part.
Everything around me just went--blank,
And into a deep dark hole I sank.
Just as I thought giving up was my choice,
All at once I heard this angelic voice.
She told me that giving up, I should never do,
That voice gave me wings, and then I flew.
When I opened my eyes and glanced around,
I noticed that I wasn’t on the ground.
I felt someone clutching my hand,
It was the girl, the voice I heard on the sand.
She looked at me with the utmost glee,
She seemed so happy, even happier than me.
She gave out the most radiant glow,
Just like a beautiful after-storm rainbow.
She was the girl that had saved my life,
But into my heart down plunged a knife.
She looked so hippy, so jazzy, so cool.
Why would she be friends with me, a complete fool?
But then she told me that I was really silly,
She didn’t care about her looks or being hippy.
All she wanted was a friend, who is true,
That will cheer her up whenever she’s blue.
That was when I’d knew I’d found her,
And I told her, “No matter what, we’d be together”.
She was the best friend I ever had.
She said to me,” you never make me mad!”
That smile was always on her face,
Even when we had the marathon race.
But one day, it was destined to change….
I was waiting for her in the garden at our usual lunch spot,
Wishing she would hurry up, I wanted to tell her a lot.
Then I spotted her with the ‘posh’ gang in our school.
I ran up to her, and the gang of cool.
They pushed me away, and I fell to the floor.
I looked at my friend, but she had slammed the door.
The door to her heart had been sealed by coldness,
She had forgotten her true nature and lost all her kindness.
She threw me an icy cold cruel stare,
She’d forgotten the times we use to share.
Still on the floor, I watched her walk away,
To the other side of the street where she could play.
Five long years since then has past,
Oh, doesn’t the time fly fast?
I’ve grown a lot since then,
But I’ve never forgotten my dear, dear friend.
The shock of my life has yet to come,
And when I think of it my senses go numb.
As I was strolling down the neighborhood street,
I could hear the lone footsteps of my very feet.
All of a sudden, I saw a car crashing,
Believe me it was really very, very frightening.
I hurried to the ruined car,
And managed to save her out of the tar.
I held her in my arms,
As she mumbled something about farms.
I calmed her down and dragged her aside,
So I could attend to her, but then she cried.
The injuries in her torso were so severe,
But suddenly on her face a smile did appear.
And all at once I remembered the smile,
The smile of my best friend when I was a child.
She looked at me with the happiest glance,
I think she knew it was her last chance.
She pulled me closer so I could hear,
Her last words were only for me,
There was happiness in her, I could see.
“I’m so sorry, please forgive me. Goodbye, and best friends forever!”
It was only then did I realize our friendship was like a feather,
It’s really beautiful, but it can disappear just like that.
I hope she rests in peace, and is happy with her cat.
Now all alone in the snow I think of her,
The summer has gone and winter is here.
I’ll never forget my dear old friend,
Who always lent me a helping hand.
I hope she’s watching me from above,
Giving me all the protection and love.
I wish she were still here today,
So I can meet her and then I’d say
“ Of course I forgive you, you know I do”
“ You’re my best friend and I love you”
But it all turned out to be pretend.
