I do not know her anymore

The girl in my home

Who attends my school

With the strangest obsession

We once knew each other

The only others we could trust

Hiding from the dark

Seeking the light

In solitude amongst each other

Her back turned on me

So sudden yet I saw it coming

The favorite of the two

Encouraged to hate

The enabler died

The silver lining shone through

For in death lies rebirth

A hope she killed

But rose again from her leaving

Yet rather than getting closer

As many do in the midst of trauma

She missed the past

And craved my demise

Now when I look into her eyes

I don't see who she was

I see the girl she is today

Hateful, narcissistic, empty

She is but a stranger to me
