toxic friends

I thought I knew you inside out,

You promised me I would never be without.

I believed every little thing you said,

But you called off our friendship instead.

Felt like you were gone in the blink of an eye,

It puzzles and shocks me when you tell me why.

I meant nothing for us but the best,

Now I have fallen apart and am a mess.

You let me rot, you left me broke,

I kid you not, because I have finally awoke.

It was that I was different and could not succeed,

You felt our friendship would nowhere lead.

I feel like I was put on one hell of a ride,

Then with a touch of the hand I died inside.

I’m picking up the pieces with one thing on my mind,

How did you really feel all along inside?

Why you seemed to have stabbed me in the back,

Just because I dropped out and a good job I lack.

I have never judged you, and never will,

How you lied that being with me was a thrill.

You played with my mind, you toyed with my heart,

Trust is so hard to find, I felt all torn apart.

I may be different but I am flesh and blood,

But you left me for dead with my face in the mud.

It’s like I have finally pulled the knife out,

Feel like I can finally move on and do without.

Forgetting now how you promised forever then walked away,

Oh how I wish I did not believe in everything you would say.

Yet had I been born differently perhaps I would have been like you,

Not understanding by passing judgement I would exacerbate what you were going through.

I will never hate you for what you did to me,

My one wish is you open your eyes and see,

How you seemed to leave me wasted alone,

And just like that you had come and gone.

You let me play the fool, had me running around,

I believed the golden rule, but got buried in the ground.

I couldn’t help being born different, it is you that is blind,

But I have moved on and have found peace of mind.
