To My Online Friend

   It has been about four days since we last spoke. I find myself checking my phone, waiting for your notification, wondering if you would reach out after telling me that I was nothing more than an enemy in your life.

   You think of me as being just like everyone else, but I was the person who listened to every sinister thought you had while the people in your real life enabled you or ignored how much you were struggling mentally.

   I could reach out first if I truly wanted to, but at this point, I'm not sure that I want to anymore. I've said everything I feel I could say. I've tried to explain myself, change your perspective, & encourage you to make healthier choices. After our last fight, though, I was left feeling like nothing I said was getting through to you.

   Instead, I'll continue to sit here & wait by my phone, praying that I don't see a crime report with your name on it.
