A poem

By Sara WilsonPublished 4 months ago 1 min read

I was holding all the tears back

trying not to make a scene

How did we go from best fucking friends

to you being so fucking mean?

-

Now what? I'm supposed to just pretend

that everything is fine?

I'm supposed to be your friend

when you couldn't be bothered to act like mine?

-

"I never meant to hurt you..."

"That wasn't an attack..."

"I promise we'll always be sisters..."

Bullshit. You never really had my back.

-

You don't remember my birthday

You only message when you're bored

You want me to answer every call

while all of mine go ignored.

-

Am I your dirty secret?

Your crumpled up love note?

You make me wanna vomit

So bad I can feel it in my throat.

-

"Oh my gosh! He cheated?!"

"Oh no! It was with her?!"

"Well, hey, that's still my brother..."

"We can't be friends the way we were."

-

Twelve long years have passed

and now you think it's time to try again?

Why do you wanna reach out now?

You should have been there for me then.

-

"Oh, I wasn't a good friend to you."

Well, no shit. Go ahead and tell me more...

"I think we should rebuild our friendship."

Friendship with you feels like a chore.

-

Aww.. now you're the one who's crying...

I guess that's all that's left to do

Why would you think that you could hurt me

and still have me consoling you?

Friendship

    I've had friends like this before and cutting them off felt so good. I'm glad you're not falling for their trap. Sending you lots of love and hugs ❤️
