All Alone

She seemed like an angel when I first saw her,
I thought she was the perfect friend.
I thought the day would never come,
when our friendship would end.

We played together all day long,
we had so much of fun.
We had sleepovers at each other's house,
and played with her dog, Bun.

One day though, she announced,
that she was shifting away.
I gasped in horror as I realised,
we might never again meet or play.

Tears filled my eyes as I said goodbye,
and her car disappeared from view.
I clutched the teddy bear that she had given me as I thought,
"this is too bad to be true."

I don't know why, maybe no one liked me,
I didn't make a single new friend.
I felt very lonely and I felt like crying,
I felt as if in front of me, there was a dead end.

After 2 years, my friend came to visit,
and I was overcome with joy.
To my surprise she treated me,
like an old, forgotten toy.

I tore apart the teddy she had given me,
I clenched my fist as I thought about the attitude she had shown.
Then I strengthened up as I thought that I had to carry on,
even if I was lonely and all alone.
