Begin Again

PROLOGUE

Happy, though plagued

I spent my days, my way

You did not have a place in my mind

I was safe from the pain to come

THE BEGINNING

An interest you had in me, my name

I was myself: helpful and friendly

Suddenly, we were bonding

Another friendship on the horizon?

SPRINTING UPHILL

Books, characters, and poetry

Sherlock, mysteries, and meme battle

Speeches, discussions, songs

We were bonding, becoming friends

THE MIDDLEPOINT

Writing plans and ideas shared with joy

I fell in love with your characters

Eighteenth birthday, surprise collaboration gift

I cried, could barely read your message

When I finally reached it

I trusted, I loved you

My best friend, sister, soulmate

Couldn't imagine the future without you

You and I would be together

Facing the world, united forever

GOING DOWNHILL

Silence for weeks

Not talking to you as usual

I was losing my grip, I was losing you

I grew afraid, couldn't tell you

THE END

With my words, I hurt you, lost you

I have no second chance

I cried and fell apart

Life and writing lost meaning

Your choice broke me

EPILOGUE

It feels like ages, has not been that long

I'm still a part of the walking -- no, the living dead

But, I'm finding meaning again

Learning to live, love, and laugh

Finally forcing myself to

BEGIN AGAIN...
