I'm accepting that I'm
Never going to get
An answer from you
About what happened
And why things are
The way they are
Between us
I realized you don't
Respect me enough
To be willing to
Give me even that,
You're one of the
Biggest hypocrites
I have ever known
You complain about
The people who
Gave up on you
And left you
But then you
Turn around and
Do it yourself to
Other people that
Cared about you,
But I guess it's okay
For you to do it
Because you're not
The one that's
Getting hurt right?
I always held tight
To our friendship
Every time you disappeared
Without a word
I always tried finding
Reasons to keep trying
I'd message you still
Knowing you probably
Weren't going to respond
Or even look at the messages
But I still fought
For our friendship because
I truly cared about you,
I'll always admit that
I messed up first
But I thought I made
That up to you and
That it was in the past
But it felt like you
Were still holding it
Against me every time
You'd disappear suddenly,
And every time you
Would do that
I wouldn't listen to
Certain songs because
They reminded me that
The person who was supposed
To be my best friend
Didn't care enough to stay
Or even make an effort to,
And every time you'd
Come back around
You always told me
The same exact reason
For you disappearing
Without elaborating
On it any further
Nothing ever got resolved,
And I understand that
Having mental health issues
Can be extremely difficult
To deal with but
When that's the same reason
Over and over again
Then even that ends up
Just being an excuse,
Did you ever consider how
It made me feel whenever
You would disappear like that?
Or that I might
Have been struggling too?
Did you ever consider
That you weren't the
Only one feeling like
You were stuck in a dark place?
Even the time that
You came back when
I really needed someone
And I'll admit it kept me
From falling any lower
You still disappeared
Not even a week later
For another six
Or seven months,
But you allowed
Other people to
Stay in your life
During those times,
And then when you
Did come back for awhile
You'd say that your
Other best friend and I
Meant the same
Amount to you but
Never give the same
Effort towards our friendship,
Then I ended up having
A bad breakdown
And instead of being
A best friend to me
You left me when
I needed you the most
And then replaced me
Even though you knew
What I was dealing with,
And to make it worse
I defended you and
Argued with someone
That actually values me
And my friendship with her
And it's funny how she
Ended up being right
About you,
And now I realize
That the reason I
Was scared any time
You wouldn't respond
For awhile was because
You added to my trauma
With people disappearing
On me because you
Did it so many times,
The only way I'd be
Friends with you again
Is if you grew up
And learned how
To communicate
Because I'm done
With playing your
Childish games.
