We used to be friends, now where are we?
We would cry together, be shy together,
Now where are we?
The smile vanished from your face
And disappeared without a trace.

Now what we had is gone.
You left me alone
In the darkest of places.
Without a hand to hold.

It's really great and relatable. But it did seem to cut off suddenly... Maybe you could beef it up a little or add a little more length. Great work!

This poem is very close to me and my experiences also. I am a fan of poems with a dark side, and this ending is done very well:)
