Sigh

One sigh.
Then another.
Pacing back and forth.
Even the stuffed animals
Get dizzy.
Eventually
collapsing
onto the bed.

One sigh.
Then another.
Thinking
How horrible you are.
How they hate you.
Why they hate you.
You know why.

One sigh,
then another.
You understand.
You just wish...
you wish so deeply, too...
that they knew.
You still care.
You still love them.
Your best friends.

One sigh,
then another.
You pushed them away.
You want them back.
But it's too late.
They're gone.
