A Childhood Friendship

Remember elementary school?
That's where we met
We were two of a kind
Side by side for the next 10 years

I was the first one you always called.
And you were the first on my list too.

We liked the same music,
the same kinds of clothes.
We were turned geek to chic together.

I thought we'd be friends forever.
But we grew up, and moved away.
You to Albequerque and me to Greenbay
I got married,
And you started drugs

I bought a house,
And you were raped, and mugged
I try to call you,
But you're always too drunk

How could this have happened?
We were so much alike?
Now I have a family,
And you a porn site.

My hopes and dreams for you were shattered
I thought you'd do great things
Now you're just a broken mess
With prison tatoos and piercings

I miss you my dear friend.
I hope you see the light
One day you'll forgive me for what I said
And know that I was right.


This poem is dedicated to Eponas_Farie_Daughter my dear friend from school.
