“Oh, I forgot about you”
There goes a brick.
“You don’t mind if we go without you, right?”
Thud, there’s another.
“Could you just shut up for a second?”
Another.
“I can’t be around you when you’re sad”
Another.
“What’s wrong with you? I have it worse”
And another.
“Honestly, I didn’t notice you were here”
The bricks stack nicely on one another.
“I’d rather hang out with someone else, sorry”
My hands are raw from building.
“You’re a friend, you’re just not a best friend, y’know?”
The wall is getting higher.
“...”
I can’t see anyone anymore.
