He left me
My best friend
My only
Was gone
And I was all alone
The time we shared
Seemed to become daggers
That repeatedly stabbed me over and over
My heart was shattered beyond repair
And no one ever was going to fix it
But I couldn’t dwell on him
I had a baby girl to take care of
A very violent child, but still mine
I cared for her like she was my own blood
And we all tried to teach her
To stop being angry at the world
We even went to a new school to see if that would help
But it didn’t
And they sent her away
Far away from me
Even against my wishes
I understood harming teachers was bad
But she was still my baby
And I knew she could do good with just more time
Time I didn't have
So I was alone again
Completely alone
I began to hate everyone
It was their fault I lost my daughter
Their were the ones who sent her away
So I isolated from everyone
The world seemed like a prison
And I didn’t want to talk with anyone ever again
But soon, my want for people drew out the anger I had
I started to come out again slowly
But then they tried to give me a new friend
One younger than my last
But older than my daughter
One my age
I didn’t want her
I didn’t need her
I made sure she knew that
Pushing her away every time she came close
Yelling at her for the smallest things
I started to break her spirit
Her will to try
And then it happened
I pushed her away and turned my back to her
And she froze
She didn’t try to nudge me again
Just frozen in pain
When I looked at her, I saw it
A single tear falling from her eye
And I saw the damage I had caused
The damage I caused myself
Looking in her brown eyes
I saw myself
And how broken and hurt I really was
And I broke
Truly broke
And instead of pushing me away like I did to her
She opened her arms to me
And let me cry
Just holding me until the tears ran out
And it was that moment when we understood each other
Two people hurt by others
But who didn’t want to cause harm
But create good instead
So we created good wherever we went
And even if far by distance
We are still close at heart
This is how I met my best friend
My equal
My baby
And my pain
This is how I met Soxs
