All I wanted was a friend,
Whom I can play games with,
And share my interests with.
I'm loyal like a Golden Retriever,
But don't mistake my loyalty
For weakness and gullibility,
Or I will start questioning.
I think I may have romanticized
Friendships to a degree...
You tell me you have health problems,
And I believe you.
You're allergic to water,
I don't doubt that.
You're prone to eczema
Via stress,
And I don't doubt that either.
But something you did
Reminds me what your
Ex-bff told me,
"They're lying about their health."
And "They're exaggerating."
I'm starting to wonder if this
Is true.
I don't want to doubt you,
And I feel bad for doubting,
But I can't remove the suspicion
That you're lying about your health,
And exaggerates what's really wrong
With you.
I don't want to confront you,
I think I won't ever confront you.
I caught you in a lie,
But I would seem like the asshole
For saying something about it.
So for now,
I shall speculate more.
Then I will determine where
You stand with me.

A poem that begins with trust and belief and then doubt steps in and suspicion is the undermining of friendships. A wonderful write
What a difficult position to be in...I totally relate. Things ended up not working out for the friendship...but now we're sort of friends again. It's one of those things. I suggest just being kind, even if they're lying.
My compassion will run out and I will stop caring. It'll be hard for me to be kind.
It is. That's what caused the conflict in the first place...I got upset with her, brought up things from her past that were immoral, and regret doing it for sure. In that case, I'd distance myself slowly. Like a friendship fading instead of falling apart.
