From classmates to strangers

From best friends to strangers

From sisters to strangers

Strangers who knew too much

Strangers who couldn’t look the other in the eye

Strangers who argued just a bit too far that one time

Strangers who decided it was better to say goodbye

I thought I knew you

But I was proved wrong

Because while I was getting better

You fixated on deepening the wounds

Thought you were the big one

Telling me to leave

Self respect so I did

Yet you reappeared

Twisting the knife

Little did you know

I pulled it out long ago

Try to hurt me

Try to bring me down

You forget, if I wanted to, our roles could reverse within seconds

But I

I remember a time when we weren’t strangers
