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.

This heartfelt poem sure brought me back to some times in my past when I too felt that sad, sickening feeling of rejection - excellent poem Takeisha!! :) I am going to add the link to this on my poem blog (Poems To Share Feelings dot com) - I have a page for Guest Poem Links.
