can we be friends?
a question I ask myself daily
as you continue to try and build bridges
to try and make amends
you still have not apologised
For all of the wrongs you did
but expect forgiveness from me non the less
you tell me I need to date again
but how can I when such a large part of me
still belongs to you
you say you want me to be happy
to meet someone who deserves me
treats me the way you should’ve
i only question why you didnt
if you know that you should’ve done it differently
you should’ve given as much as you took from me
Because I was so hopelessly devoted to you. To us
And now all I have is a flimsy friendship
one I know I can’t maintain
i cant talk about all of the interests we shared
when every night you’ll have her
I can’t be your friend and watch you love her
to watch you smile down at her
i wish it was me.
because it should’ve been me
and I still don’t understand what I did wrong
to make you hurt me the way you did
I admit I wasn’t perfect
but I tried so hard to be, for you
Our relationship was based on one lover
me.
and that ultimately is what lead to our demise
we had both accepted you had the upper hand
that the ball was always in your court
because I was the girl who gave more than she got
love and care that is
While you gave the bare minimum
my only wish is that you never do it again
never lie and say you love somebody
not to someone who genuinely cares
let her run free and wild to the man who is her equal
and do not burn out the fire in her eyes
like you did to me so few months ago
hold the one you love tightly
love her fiercely and don’t let her go
because to watch her leave you
will destroy you.
