went out of my way
went the extra mile
to make you feel seen
to show you're worthwhile

made promises i wouldn'tve
if i didn't care in the slightest
put my self out on a limb
scared to fall off but i hide it

want you to feel important
special and loved and understood
did whatever you asked
did everything i could

bent at every whim
helped hunt down every lead
every supportive measure applied to you
not so much to me

i felt invisible
my pain was mirror for you to gaze in
your thoughtlessness was brutal
your selfish tendencies ever so brazen

you set the standards
and unconsciously enforced them
the world revolved around you
my issues remained unimportant

it hurt to feel like i did my best
to be the best friend i could be
and that you took that as a free pass
to walk all over me
