No Love Lost

A few pointers before you start reading this: 

a) It's a mixture of blank verse and your typical rhyming-schemed poem.

b) It's highly unedited. 

c) It's kinda based - sorry, totally based - on a true story. 

I remember a time, 

Where there were a few, 

I slavishly adored, 

And one of them was you;

I was a silly little girl, 

Searching for an idol, 

And there you were - 

Pretty, introverted and rib-ticklingly funny! 

I remember boasting, 

About your greatness; 

I remember toasting, 

Your many a success; 

I was a little peacock, 

Only not as wondrous looking; 

And you were the rain, 

Giving me pure, unadulterated joy! 

But days passed, 

Faster than a ray of light;

Seasons changed, 

And unfortunately, so did you; 

You became more beautiful, 

You became more confident, 

You became more popular, 

You became someone I didn't know; 

The last time I saw you, 

You weren't the sweetheart that you used to be; 

You weren't the person I used to worship, day and night; 

Now, you were as real as a charlatan! 

A phony smile plastered on your face, 

A proud attitude you had put on, 

A false person you had become; 

Oh darling, now you're a perfectly plastic Barbie doll; 

I hate the way you walk, 

As if you're better than the rest; 

I hate the way you talk, 

As if you know a great deal more than the geniuses; 

I don't know who you are, 

I don't know what you want; 

I don't know why are you, 

Alienating me like this! 

Do you not remember, 

That little girl with whom you used to play?

Do you not remember, 

Making that little girl's day? 

I don't know how to express this, 

But I miss the old you - 

The shy person that you used to be, 

Only an extrovert in front of me; 

(I see you now, 

And my little heart, 

Shatters into a million shards; 

I don't think it can be mended anymore!)
