Toxic Friendship
Why would you assume?
I never hinted that I liked you
Sorry that I don’t care about heteronormativity
I’m not scared to sit in close seats
The only things about you I knew
I learned because everything offended you
Yeah, I know you have a large chest
But I look deeper than the surface, unlike the rest
I’m not saying you’re horrible
Our friendship was just not endurable
We shall try to repair
But never like before the snare
It’s just the way you were raised
This sort of thing makes you dazed
I’m sorry for how it was phrased
But I felt depraved
As you walked away
After you held me for days
Telling me it’d be okay
I fell for the bait
You never meant to manipulate
But for you, I’d have died today
But you can’t handle someone who stays
And then out I came
You were the friend I craved
But eventually, you had me crazed
