Fragile Line
<p>She was a vision, a captivating form...</p><p>Everything I lacked, everything I longed to own...</p><p>I painted her perfect, a flawless design...</p><p>Attractive, yes, even worthy of my fragile line ...</p><p>Of friendship&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>Her sketchbook whispered dreams she didn't claim...</p><p>A silent artist, touched by creative flames...</p><p>I intensely admired her...</p><p>It was clear how she felt..</p><p>Push me away and pull me near ...</p><p><br></p><p>And then, a dream begun, a fragile bond...</p><p>I held it tight, a wish I couldn't outrun...</p><p>But I was only a visitor, briefly in her light...</p><p>And of course, it was great...</p><p>I had fun, but the scars remain...</p><p><br></p><p>Naive, perhaps foolish, I dove without a trace..</p><p>Into a fantasy with no solid base.</p><p>She chased a popularity and it changed her face..</p><p>Left me stranded, without a second place...</p><p>My body was a canvas for her cruel critiques...</p><p>Tried to fit her mold, but never quiet right..</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>"Dumb" the casual cruelty, a wound that wouldn't mend..</p><p>"Best friend" the lie she uttered until the very end...</p><p>She never meant that...</p><p>And I was foolish...</p><p>Clinged on every chance to stay again....</p><p>I was worth more than the love you pretended to give...</p><p>I'm free..</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>~By sayo</p>
