In The First Place

It was a 

Crushing feeling, 

To see the one you love the most 

Move on as if you had never existed. 

To watch that friendship 

Fade as if it was 

Never a light in the first place. 


It was a 

Scary thought, to know that 

My best friends who live 

Across the ocean, could 

Oh-so-easily block me 

And remove my existence as if 

I was never there in the first place.


It was a 

Startling revelation to 

Realize that this was 

The harsh reality 

Of life. 

People die and people leave. 

And it will feel 


As if nothing was ever there 

In the first place.

I haven't written poetry in a while, but it has been somewhat freeing to start again.
