hurt was what
the bully in me
felt for the
very first time.
when the hurricane
in me ceased
momentarily and
the thunderstorms
began.

you had befriended
another human,
a girl;
and she was, by all means,
cuter than the short haired,
round eyes,
crooked nosed me.

kaya. her name was
as soft as the rain
dripping down the pane
only to slide down
the window,
carefully.
and it was exactly
how she was.
kaya was painfully
pretty.

being possessive was
the last thing
the eight year old me
even wanted to display:
but heavens, i wanted
you to be
my one and only
friend, and you, mine.

you were nice -
sickeningly nice and
way too good for me:
and so, i expected it.
i knew the girl
with dew shaped eyes
and a smile
that glowed up everything,
was going to be included.

- and i had never
felt that excluded
when you stared at
her with eyes filled
with nothing but love.
