Lost and Confused

I don’t know what happened,
I don’t know where things went wrong,
I thought I was doing everything right,
I was wrong all along,
It hurts now, but it will get better with time,
I just wish I could erase it from my mind,
I can’t stop crying, can’t stop thinking,
Can’t seem to understand; now I can’t stop drinking
I feel like I’m nothing, never good enough,
I put on a happy face and try to act tough,
This is all too much, I can’t deal anymore,
Was this all for revenge, are you trying to even the score?
What did I do that was so bad?
It’s not fair to treat me like this, it’s so sad,
I shake my head just thinking about it,
None of it makes sense so I guess it’s a loss I must dismiss,
Clearly it  was never meant to be,
A friendship lost over nothing, at least it seems that way to me,
I wish you the best; I can’t waste time hating you,
Just know this was your decision, 
We’ll go our separate ways,
I’ll do me and you do you.
