The thought of you making time for others,
and not me, kills me because I was
your best friend and you are still mine but
somewhere along the way, that phone line got cut.
And maybe I missed the memo that the alarm on our friendship began beeping and you woke up
while I was still sleeping.
Or that the clock struck
midnight, leaving me sitting in the rotted remains of our childhood.
How is it possible that the added days of us
became so replaceable that you "Don't understand how you made it through until you met, blank."
I don't see how this recurring trend became a thing,
as if recycling friends as if they didn't
exist is okay and how
"I've been busy"
equates to making everything just fine.  
I would have settled for a text just know whether or not you would be the next in line with every other person
I had dared call "friend".
How did we go from strangers
to sisters, to you not caring, and me just staring, waiting for you
to make a move, but knowing it would never come.
To all the girls who's "friend" only understood the word "end" and to all the people who inspired this, I'm sorry you did.

I used to have alot of friends you see
Friends that promised to turn my endless dreams into realities
Friends that would inspire to respire nothing but pure joy and great laughter
That would creep secrets and wild fantasies out of me
Just to make sure that the world saw that which they saw in me.

But when I met the ultimate friend that never promised but made sure to never let go of me
That's when I saw that the friends that were there were not destined to be my friends indeed

They each stepped out and let me down when I was no longer who they thought I ought to be

They each left me cold and wet and not one came back to shelter me untill I was warm and dry
Oh no not one I might add

But this very friend that did instead of spoke that cared instead of promised even though He was empty and all sorts of broke
Showed me that friendship is more than the mere words you speak and the dreams that you share to turn into realities.

It's the bond between beings that requires actions that would speak louder than words and reassure you that this love between all of you is there to settle whether high or low.
