Hurt a Friend (Poem) - Aafiya

                               Hurt a Friend

I accidently hurt a friend

don't know how to mend

I think of all the time we spent

I don't want it all to end.

I said something as a joke

But she thought it was a mock

I didn't think before I spoke

I've been thinking about it since I awoke.

I used to be her secret keeper

But now she thinks I am just another attention seeker.

All I can do is sit afar and watch

as our friendship grew weaker and weaker.

I used to braid her hair

while she told me about some book she just read

Now look at where a little joke lead

I don't know where this will head

I remember playing truth or dare

talking about boys and what clothes to wear.

gossiping about pairs, and listening to you swear

I don't want to loose this, you're really giving me a scare.

You can't end this friendship, don't you dare

I am living, in my worst nightmare

Please come back to me, I still care

I'd rather have you, than be a millionaire

Now as I think of the day we met,

all the memories flash by like a jet.

And I know that I just can't forget

You don't know how much I regret.

Thinking about all this, my eyes started to wet.

I'm not ready to let go yet.

Some other friends that I had left

hugged me and told me not to fret.

They said, "if she was a real best friend,

she'd come back soon, willing to mend.

she wouldn't want any of this to end

she'll miss the time we spent."

This incident shook me to my core.

You know you mean a lot to me, you are my rock.

I was scared you'd get your heart a lock

To keep me away, after we fought.

But you came back sooner than I thought.

I asked, "Are you still angry?" she said "No, I'm not."

those words made me feel better and loosened the knot

that I didn't even knew, was there in my throat.

We hugged for a long time, I missed that when she went.

Our bond wan never broken, it didn't need a mend.

and that's how I knew she was a true friend

I know, she really is god sent.
