Friendships

Friendships They take work Some cases one person's too nice The other is a complete jerk Might work for a while Until arguments compile I refuse to discuss vital issues in text Phone call is the only way Text was your only method, I couldn't get you to sway Wasn't there for me when I cried Wasn't there to catch my fall I'm not a victim This situation I had to assess How could I consider myself blessed? When more often than not I drive away mad Not supposed to be this much work Known you for so long It's hard and it's too bad Tried to get through to you? Can't, it's impossible Failure to admit wrong doing I think, Why did I think it was ever worth pursuing? I've been crazy for the last However many years.. To many to count Rinse problems, Issues repeat What the hell was I doing? Pulled a 180 Quickly showed it wasn't worth pursuing You laid out our drama on a social network site That's when the reality suddenly bites Someone you really thought might be on your side Just considered you a convenience, Came along for the ride Soon as you disagree I feel like a mut, Un-pedigree You really expect all these comments from strangers Will get me to call you? Bring me to my knees Geeze, you must not know me lady, please..

The fact that you prefer phone convos to text is highly admirable. Many have COMPLETELY forgotten how to communicate like that. 'Tis a damn shame. Good piece!

It's strange how busy people sometimes seem. Just trust your heart and know that when someone cares you don't have to reach out, their normally waiting already. I always enjoy your work for different reasons. I can relate here, great work.

Hey Wayland, thanks for stopping by! It's the vital process of sorting people in and out of your life. Makes a world of difference. Cheers, Sharon
