Vanishing Rainbows

I'm done.
It's over.
I can't take it anymore.
It hurts.
The fact that I was clearly ignored.
The fact that they didn't even know.
They didn't realize that they had left me.
Not behind.
No, I was with them.
Right beside them.
But invisible.
I hadn't heard a single soul utter my name.
I needed a break,
So I left.
The room in which I felt suffocated.
Couldn't let out my emotions.
Couldn't escape the feelings of entrapment.
I left.
Went to the bathroom down the hall.
That's when I saw her.
A close friend.
Not my friend.
Not from my group.
A close friend.
A best friend.
Listen to my advice, she said.
They love you, she said.
You'll be fine, she said.
She embraced me.
Like the important one in my life.
Tighter than ever.
I love your smile.
Keep smiling.
Seeing you cry breaks my heart.
She started crying.
Someone I grew close to that year,
Shed tears for me.
She brought a smile to my face.
Your smile is like a rainbow.
She stopped the tears.
The tears created by my own friends.
That was the first time.
I never knew.
How could my smile be that special?
Be so special, it made a friend cry?
Just because it disappeared...
