you were like a sister,
a confidant i never thought i'd find.
we were there for each other,
i'd hug you tight while you cried,
scream and giggle with you
about books, dogs, and the things
we'd say after one too many drinks.
we found comfort in one another;
a platonic soul connection.
until one day you poured gasoline
on me and struck a match.
you spread lies about me and watched
as they continued to burn, along with
our friendship lost; memories turning to ash
that you swept into the urn.
it's been lonely since we said goodbye,
but each day i'm learning
that i feel better with time.
i might miss you but after what you did,
you don't deserve me...
and that's on setting boundaries.
