BFF

by Caneel
(Maine, USA)

I met her in 4th grade
We were BFFs at first sight
We had fun all year
And the next

Now I'm in 6th grade
Things are different now


I made a poisonous new friend
We parted ways yesterday
I was the unwitting person to fall into her trap
She spun me into her invisible web of lies and betrayal

I left her yesterday
But I had been neglecting my other friends for her
One word:
Why?

Why was I so stupid?
They tell me it's not my fault
But... but... I left you all alone!

She says it doesn't matter
My BFF, Carrie
