Broken-

The words you said, and blew my way, like arrows on the wind. Tore right through my open arms, for I THOUGHT you were my friend. I had in mind to reach for you, and share some special thought, you passed right by , your only aim, to take the open shot. We’d been friends, but now somehow, you say I don’t belong, somehow you’re bigger, better, MORE, and I was just a pawn. You’ve gathered up your little group, and circled round to feed, I was only scrap for you, now nothing that you need. Perhaps you think that all are fooled, and don’t see what I have seen, but you have cut me deeply, and God has seen me bleed. So keep up your game of “I’m so much better”, and direct your little play, there’ll come a time when all’s revealed, and always a price to pay.

Couplets aren't aways this good. Poems as catharsis help to restore perspective, helping us to realize that some relationships are a waste of life energy, which can be more effectively directed elsewhere. You summed it up vrery well. Otherwise, I couldn't have written this!
