A Friendships End

I haven't been able to think about you without crying

To look at your picture on my wall was too painful

It may have been better if you had died, like Dominick

 

But you didn't, no you still exist

Strong and persistant in my memory and alive and well somewhere else

I wonder if you meant all those hurtful words you said

 

I saw pictures of you today happy and smiling

Did I really make your life a sad dark hell?

Or is that just what you're telling yourself

 

Is that just your sad pathetic excuse

For giving yourself a reason to cut me loose

Because we were drifting a part so slowly

 

You were the only person who knew me that well

To know the little words that would **** me

So you made sure to say them, knew what insults to spew

 

I'm starting to think you wanted me to hate you

You told me not to cry, but you knew I would

I'm telling myself all the things you knew I would

 

That i'm a horrible person, I don't deserve to be loved

That all of my efforts were wasted, never enough

But I hope you know, I'm not the only one I blame

 

I'm not dense enough to think friendships are one way

You could've made an effort, you could've made a step

Hell there are so many different things you even could've just said

 

Let me know where we were headed, cause I didn't even know

But instead you left me here all alone

Justifying your actions with the things that killed me

 

Along with stupid other petty things

You said you feel "I'm adjusting just fine"

Then suggested you'll live your life, and I'll live mine

 

Whatever happened to the days, for thirteens years

Where we were like family through blood sweat and tears

Your mom isn't there for me like another mom anymore

 

All of your selfish (or was it selfless) motives closed that door

I keep blaming myself, I rant and then I blame you

I go down the long list of all the stupid reasons why our firendship is through

 

And what it boils down to, is we bit off more then we could chew

This distance was too much for us it tore us both apart

You were just the stronger one, for finally freeing your heart
