Toxic Friendships

I tried hard

To keep it all composed.

I tried hard to not

to let you go.

I gave my all

to keep you company

I gave my all

But you didn't even

see me as a foe.

I tried hard

to connect you to my heart.

I tried hard

but you still set me apart.

I gave my all

But still gave up.

I gave my all

I gave so much

that now I can't even pick

myself up.

Even a rubber breaks

if you pull it too hard

Even breaks break down

If you push them too hard

I was just a mere string

That you pulled too hard and broke

leaving me scarred.

I'm not angry

Though I'm broke, I'm sad.

I'm not angry

I'm happy I had you

Though you made me unhappy.

I'm glad, I'm thankful.

Thankful to you to teach

me life.

Thankful to you to preach,

to cut me with this blunt knife.

But you will regret

Leaving me and walking away.

In the future,

my honesty and love,

will definitely make you say.

That it was a mistake, to walk away.
