Betrayed By a So-Called Friend
(I actually wrote this poem a year ago, but because of some recent events, it still applies)
I thought we were cool.
I thought we were friends.
But those words you said,
Stabbed me in the back of my head.
I didnt see it coming.
I couldnt believe my eyes.
What you did, really took me by surprise.
I thought you understood me.
You defended me from that jerk.
But all along, you were just like them.
Waiting for your chance to inflict hurt.
You will never realize, how hurtful your words were to me.
You will never understand, how confused you made me
You were one of few friends i had to my name.
But maybe i was too expectant, to believe, that you were not the same.
In the end.
I lost a friend.
I must have never meant much to you.
For you to say what you said.
You talked down to me.
As if i was a dog.
You treated me like i was stupid
And had no mind of my own.
I will never understand your hostility.
Friendless, i truly am.
Trusting, i no longer should be.
Anger and resentment reside in me.
but it wont consume me.
I will eventually move on.
You will be nothing but a faint memory.
Forgotten you soon shall be.
I dont need friends.
To make me happy.
