I’m Sorry

I’m sorry for not treating you better,

For failing to see the beauty you held inside

I gripped such a pure heart,

Only to squeeze it in my rough hands,

Time and time again

If only I’d noticed how sweet you were,

How much you cared through it all

If only I’d said something,

Defended you from my so-called “friends”

More than anything, I wish

I’d been a better companion

Maybe if I had,

We’d be side by side,

Two girls against the world

I’m sorry, dear friend
