For a Friend

You look at me,

And what do you see?

Innocent,

Ignorant,

Special,

But you can’t see into my soul,

No one can,

And if they can,

I won’t let them,

You don’t see who I truly am,

Quiet,

Alone,

Lost,

You come crawling back,

Or it appears that way,

To me,

You want something,

That isn’t there anymore,

I just gave up on our friendship,

Like you gave up on me,

Like you ignored me,

Like you didn’t care anymore,

I cut that single thread of hope that you left,

While you’re still clinging on to it,

With all the hope that you have,

I never wanted our friendship to end,

I never said that,

You showed me that,

I took the hints,

I just chose to ignore then,

To not accept them,

Like you wanted me to,

Like you wanted to throw me away,

You forgot about my feelings,

About how fragile I am,

How much I have to try,

Don’t you get it?

You kept pushing me away,

And I was clinging to that thread,

You seem to wonder why we don’t talk anymore,

But we didn’t talk that much to begin with,

And now,

I’m really trying,

Maybe pushing you away got me to try,

Maybe it’s your fault I have to go through this much,

This suddenly,

Maybe you’re the reason why I decided to push you away,

I know I’m being a bitch,

You just forgot about my feelings,

So I’m doing the same thing you did to me,

To you
