The Princess and the Pauper

Two little girls
Not a worry in sight
Brought together by dance
Which they loved with all their might

Separated for a time
Near but not close
One girl flourished
The other became like a ghost

Reconnected by chance
Like the princess and the pauper
Both were needed
But only one ever bothered

The pauper always listened
To the good and the bad
The princess never realized
How much was left unsaid

The pauper was in pain
Needed to be heard
But the princess was in the clouds
As free as a bird

Soon the princess left
The pauper no longer needed
She was replaced
By someone "better suited"

Alone was the pauper
Scared and betrayed
So she left for another kingdom
Maybe this time she can be saved

This is about my old best friend and I, not sure how I feel about it. Let me know what you think ~Andy
