Unhealthy Friendship

Unhealthy friendship Lopsided. I think you would say The way a taker takes more than a giver can give away A sad situation, somewhat injust How someone can take so much that the giver loses trust Unhinged, unbalanced, the scales tipped too far Where the giver wants the taker to raise their bar I made the hardest decision, you'll see... It was definitely because of you, not me Not meaning unwell, harm or ill I couldn't keep giving, I simply lost the will It's not the words spoken that mean much at all It's the action which is taken when you see a friend fall A giver will always catch without hesitation A taker may catch but after much deliberation The times you would bail quite unexpectedly Far too many times you ignored my plea It wasn't equal or even a bit of give and take Many of your words completely fake Unhinged, unbalanced, the scales tipped too far. How the giver keeps on giving and the taker takes it all!
