bff’s home

don’t you remember
your bff lived here

really dear
it wasn’t that long ago
though the
ivy
would not
lead you to believe so

does it depress
you
to see
her house
in abandonment
does it wipe
the wonderful
memories
from your mind

did she move
because she
wanted to
or was it due to
bad times

you’re not happy
that we drove by here
you are wounded
by this scene

clearly
there are things
from the past
you haven’t shared
with me

you needn’t disclose
your recollections
you needn’t confide
your yesteryear

but dear
your bff lived here
