My Butterfly Friend- "Sabrina"

There's one of my friend
Who's always cheerful
Who's always energetic and kind
Who's very talented and fun to be with
And who shows-
confident

She has a bright face-
like the sun's light, shining
in my dark room
She has a sweet personality-
like a butterfly spreading
and flapping its glamorous
wings

And she has a dark side
that can't be describe
or compare by something
in words

The ones that loves her can't
quite understand her.
Did they stayed away from her?
I don't know

Then, she changed

Her face-
depress
Her body-
cold as the winter's
night
And her personality-
like my star-night,
vanished from the night

I can't quite understand
her, either
She vanished from
my eyes before
I even noticed

Where's my friend
who acts like a
4 year old
Who acts cheerfully
with a warm smile
Who has an indescrabable personality
that spreads widely in the dark

"If you can hear me,
pls. come back
...
we

miss you."

Author notes

This poem is for my friend Sabrina, who's Lake Absence here.
I hope you get better from your fever.

Is this what you feel when your friend is sick?

    Aw, Sheena, that's beautiful. Though I'm a little biased because Sabrina is my bff too.. I miss her.

    Anyways, great poem Sheena. As always =]

    Aw, thanks Sheena. That's so sweet. I'm like, living on Advil doses so I'm not sure if I'll make it to school tomorrow.
