Broken

Everyone who loved you begged for 
you to stay,
You turned your back and walked 
away.

You looked back and put up your 
middle finger,
Stood there for a second and let it 
linger.

You threw everyone away like you 
dont care,
But yet here a few months later in 
our eyes you still cant stare.

Maybe theres something your trying 
to hide,
Like the sadness i can see with out 
looking in your eyes.

So much has changed your face is 
differant now,
You forgot how to smile you only 
frown.

Now for me theres no reisentment,
Im not happy or sad just content 
with.

The cards I was delt,
The loss of our friendship is just 
another under my belt.

And evern tho I cant stand to see 
you around,
From my mouth you wont hear a 
sound.

Doesnt mean I'm upset or mad,
I just cant stand to see what once 
was my best friend so sad.

And yet still threw it all,
You have people who dont want to 
see you fall.

So I apologize if when you walk 
threw the door,
I turn my head, I just cant stand to 
see you hit the floor.

I'm sorry I keep distant to protect 
me,
But know if you look back right 
there i'll be.

Ready to grab your hand,
Just to make sure you always stand.

How could you have said those things and pretended that they were true? How could you have meant them all-I don't understand what you're trying to do Threaten my husband then turn around and pretend you’d always be there, Please, could you just explain this to me, Because I don't understand.. How could you play this game of pretend and play the part of a friend? How could you say you listened to me when you never really heard? How could you stick this knife in my chest, then twist it where you wanted it to go? Please answer me all these questions, I really need to know But really, I just have one question to ask ... I just want to know, How could you??
