With a tight brain, puzzled…
She sat alone… Wondering how it was…
Been solving puzzles always
Been accustomed to lay eyes on the best always
And then a sudden shock
More of a sudden behavior change
For which she never thought she would have to
Suffer so very much
Clenching her fists
And her chin tight
She sat fighting her tears
Trying to show she was strong
But was she?
No, she thought mutely
As the tear she was trying to hold finally dropped down
His words kept ringing in her ears
Should they matter really?
He had felt for her a couple of years back
And she never reciprocated
She tried to stay friends
Although a few harsh words had she said
When she’d tried to shoo him off
Should that have really mattered so?
Never realized he would hold a vendetta…
So harsh… so strong…
Words hurt harder than physical pain,
Something she knew since times…
“What were you, and where are you?
All your friends, whom you thought to be so,
Speak ill of you behind your back!
All of them… all of them…!
Feels great to return all the harsh words
That were just pending to get out to you
To try and fall your attitude
Because that’s what you deserve, bloody idiot…
Because that’s what you deserve…!”
Was what he said
She was sad and hurt and alone
Trying to figure what he’d said…
That wasn’t the boy she’d thought she’d known
“Things change so fast,” she thought…
“Or maybe,
I was wrong after all.”
A strong breeze came through the window
Setting her spine into a cold shudder
She cupped herself into her own arms
And thought of her best friends
Wondering if all that were true…
And like the lone chrysanthemum that stand in the ice
Hope sprang up in her heart
Paving the way to trust…
This is the time… this is the test…
None of them could feel so,
Her heart gave the verdict,
And a soft, pensive smile played on her face
And then came a call from her best friend
Not to hurt her
Or deepen her pain
To offer not a shoulder to cry
But a hand to get up
A hand to wipe her tear
“I now know my true friends…
I now know me…”
