You sit there next to her
And a pang of jealousy hits
I had hoped to talk to you tonight
We used to talk a lot
Now she monopolizes all your time
And I am left feeling alone
Without a friend who used to help
Lost without your guidance
You had a knowledge beyond your years
And could calm my fears with a few words
I guess you didn’t really care
As much as you said you did
But I still miss you to this day
And will forever more
As you have made it clear
Our friendship was just
A brief moment in time
And that time has now passed
Written for Fandango’s One-Word Challenge (FOWC) – monopolize
