stranded

[whoIam]

You left me stranded
buried under my own tears
you promised to love me
to be my friend – forever
but you never looked back
when you were leaving

Your words were like stabs with a knife
though not even spoken
you didn’t think twice
you left my heart destroyed and broken

You had forgotten our childhood
our teenage years together
you didn’t remember what we went through
always – good or real bad weather

You were gone – like you had never been here
no evidence of your love – but a lot of fear

What kind of woman have you become?
Are you happy, are you a mom?
I truly hope that you are fine…but I wonder
do you think of me sometime?

I want you to know that I am okay
I’ve found a lot of right steps along the way
and my old wounds heal every day.

I know there was a reason
for our many years together
so probably there’s a reason
why we are now apart
you can be sure of one thing
I will never forget you
you’ll always have a place right here in my heart.


for the woman who used to be my best friend
