You were the girl crying
In the first floor bathroom this morning.
I heard your sobs rattle the silence.
Someone had excluded you from a party.
Your best friend didn’t comfort you, she was at lunch,
Laughing with the party animals.
What animals.
The betrayal of friendship never happens just once.
And when her dog got cancer, and the medical bills
Got too much,
Her father exhaled, and then sipped his coffee and ordered for that poor dog to be put to sleep.
Life is not a test of loyalty, he told her, it’s a test of survival.
