Cut with a Knife

My best friend

Since fifth grade

Stabbed me in the back

She cut me so deep

That I could barely breathe

She hurt me so bad

That I could barely feel

Anything but the excruciating pain

Of my body, soul, and mind

Tears streamed down my face

As I sat on the edge of my bed

Desperately wishing this was all a dream

For I didn’t recognize the monster

Who felt no remorse

For this monster was not my best friend

Who loved like no other

I just don’t get it

I thought we would be friends forever

But forever turned into never

Never means goodbye

Goodbye to our plans

Of college road trips to roommates

Of married women to next door neighbors

Everything we thought we do together

Is nothing but a distant memory

Everything we thought we do together

Is nothing but a clear lesson

That we never lose friends

We just figure out who the real ones are

This one has the teeth of reality ...and the aftertaste.
