I heard you're talking to my name twin. I saw it in your eyes You think it's a win I wish it was all lies Hurt will cover me like a second skin Maybe I won"t try To make my name twin Turn into me

Same name, different everything else.
I feel so much pain inside knowing that you are married I literally couldn't see how horrible you were to me because you would mask it with fake kindness and because as a women I was more trained to see that coming from a man than from someone who was a close friend to me you met me at such a vulnerable hard period of my life I had just moved to a foreign country I met you at a shabbat meal we bonded over food at first when we met I was so attracted to you I thought you were so beautiful to me because in those moments you were . We would go out drinking and partying and although you were the religious one you would party harder than me I remember how so many times you would leave me for dead when we were around strange men in the bars and I would beg you to stay to not leave me I was so drunk I could barely move and you didn't care you only cared about having fun and not about me so because of you I experineced so much violence. I remember how I cried in those stairwells begging him to stop how I felt robotic how you left me all the time while promising to come back how you would treat me like dirt leave me on red and make up some excuses for why you are a shtty human ... now honestly , You never once said I am sorry until I begged it out of you, you would talk to my roommates who bullied me viciously, became their friends and even rented that apartment in that house after I moved out I saw that you got married and although I would like to feel happy for you all I feel for you is so much hate anger and so much immense pain I don't know why it took me so long to see how much of a horrible person you are a wolf in sheep's clothing and soon you will move back here and if I ever do see you again I would love to spit in your face and say Fk You! No more to letting people walk all over me and do as they please I don't wanna care about being liked anymore I'd rather be myself be safe and be around those who actually see for who I am instead of using me for their own jealous gain. Many times the ones who are the worst are the ones closest to you that you can't even see now I am learning to trust the subtle red flags that I feel when I meet someone so I don't meet a person like you again.

two's a company three's a crowd but what if that crowd was the most peace you've had? three's a crowd then two then there was one and years later you sit with nothing but the regret of growing up and growing without nothing but the memories of love and closeness that you fear you'll never have in friends again two's a company three's a crowd i'd rather drown in the masses than drown in my solitude

three's a crowd
Remember the times you caught me crying? used to make up excuses when you won't stop prying. I had no courage to tell you; how many times I've doubted you. Cause you meant more to me; than any of my insecurities. I was miserable, wasn't I? used to vent out my feelings, didn't lie. I loved him beyond limits, you knew; the girls were fully aware too. Maybe our bond wasn't strong, or else I could've forgiven you. Maybe the world didn't know, how much I really tried to. You had your reasons, he was sad and depressed, and you chose to go address; leaving me in distress. You called me your best friend, then why did you hide it? I was right there, a meter away from your bed. You called me your best friend, then how could you **** him? in the same places, you knew I loved him. You called me your best friend, then how could you not know? how deep a scar, your actions will carve. Our bond was like a holy thread, anything it could sustain, cutting it once and tying a knot, won't make it pure again. Sister or sinister, I am not sure anymore. Friend or fiend, perhaps you were both. I wish I could lend a hand, but it's harder for me to stand. Roots that run so deep; I had to fall to my knees. You have many best friends, so what if you lose one friend? You made a choice and walked that path, no good will come from seeking the past. Look ahead, with no regret; for I consider you, my kindest crook.

best friend?
I finally got over you, and you came back.. why? Why all of a sudden you come back when I’m finally over you?! I was happy you came back, but I realized things are different now. I don’t need you anymore, you hurt me. I can’t go back to feeling that pain again.

memories
Her sparkling smile hides her crooked mind Although she was mad, she was not malice Gaslighting and wicked games were of her kind Last supper was fun, still have the chalice Pandora, pandora, don’t open that box Twisted thoughts tore and fused into my skin A nightmare reality, or just a faux? A virus that stays with me, just like kin Words echoes I love to k!ll, I do not stop Remorse is not usually in my blood This is not a tale, she needs to be locked A body in her hands turn grey, like mud We are all wired to get a little mad But, she is the most crazy girl I’ve met

i still check in on you after months of not having talked to you. i'm still trying to break the habit of texting you after a really hard day. people tell me about how you posted yourself crying on your story and i have to fight the urge to ask you if you need someone to rant to. i miss talking to you and hearing about how your day was. i miss you. but i'm okay for now.

okay for now.
being alone makes me realize that i’ve never actually ‘dealt with it’ sure, i’ve had good days but when it comes down to it; i go to bed at night, and i think. i think about what we could’ve been if we never stopped. maybe i overreacted? but then i remember, you’ve done nothing but backstab people. you’ve done nothing but hurt. i was nothing but good to you and you still repaid me with breaking my heart and my trust. so **** you for ever making me happy and making me believe that you cared. because you never did, and that’s something i have to deal with.

i hope that one day i'll be able to say that i'm finally over you and the heartache that you caused and continue to make me feel you treated me like **** even in my moments of weakness and the fact that it took such a toll on me that it made me want to change myself for some ******* like you makes me feel nothing but disappointment in myself because fact of the matter is, you have never and will never deserve someone like me and i can only hope that you get what you deserve.

Dear Ex,
Pathetic. That’s what I’d call you. Just plain miserable and manipulative. You tricked me into giving you the world . Deceived me into believing that you’d never do me ***** You blinded me by your lies “Forget about them , you have me.” But , I didn’t really have you .. Did I ? You took what you wanted . You let me put you before myself . But ? I don’t even blame you . Maybe if I would’ve been in your position , Being offered the world And only being asked for friendship in return .. Maybe then I would’ve robbed you of your trust . And your love . You were my best friend . My ace , My platonic soulmate . And I treated you as much . But, what was I ? To you , What was I ? A personal tutor ? Remember those last two essays that you just couldn’t get done ? Who helped you ? Who stayed up after an exhausting day at work , After having to bike home in the cold and rain ? Just so you could pass and not worry. Maybe , I was just a free ride . Always taking you places , Always giving you the keys and letting you do whatever. You filled the tank maybe twice within a nine month period . And I never once said anything . Oh I got it , I was your ATM. Whenever you needed money , I was glad to help . Whether it was for an Uber so you could go to your volleyball tournament Since your own “mother” couldn’t take you Or whether it was for a Plan B because YIKES Your boyfriend didn’t know how to pull out . Hm , I guess I was also a personal shopper . Buying you clothes when I bought me some . You didn’t wanna spend your money ? That was fine . I would spend mine And you didn’t even have to ask. I was everything except your friend and that’s all I wanted to be . I should’ve seen this coming . I should have KNOWN . Looking back All I can see are the signs , Foreshadowing what was to come . You started to change right in front of my own eyes but I didn’t want to believe it . Didn’t want to believe what I could clearly see . You started to ignore me . For days on end . Living in the same house became something like a Silent war . Everyone against me . Including you . You started to disappear into your room . There were no more lifetime movie marathons together . No more staying up and goofing around together . No more talking about any and everything together . I lost you way before I knew I lost you and that makes my heart ache like a pre-existing bruise getting hit over and over again .

eleven years down the drain, no wonder i am in so much pain. i move around and i know its hard, but how come you never even sent me a card? you say its my fault our friendship came to an end, i move around too much how could we be friends? now its clear i cared more, i guess you left because you got bored. what you don't understand is its hard on me too, at least you get to keep the people you're close to. it started with us never talking, why wouldn't you answer? you found a new bestfriend, so i didn't matter. she wore the shirt we had made with the pinky promise. you deleted every picture with me in it, you erased our friendship before it even ended. were you trying to leave no trace of me? because you succeeded. i finally got blocked on every app that you had, please tell me what did i do to be treated so bad? you were supposed to grow old with me, be my maid of honor. now that i've lost you, i've lost me too. we grew up together, there was never a me without you. so when i lost you.. i lost me too. who am i now? who will i be? i never thought you were capable of ending me..

What's a best friend? I hope one day I know the meaning of what a “best friend” is suppose to be. 
One who won’t constantly scrutinize me.
 One who will laugh with me and not at me.
 One who will listen instead of interrupt. 
***
 Who will encourage me to do my best, because they have faith in what I can do. 
 And it’s a shame that I thought it’d be you. 
You’re not right in your heart, and for that we should be apart. 
 Until you stop putting others down and turn your life around, I will be absent. 
I could never speak to you and have your full understanding. 
 You have your herd of sheep, but I chose to stand up and create my own life to lead.
 I’ve encouraged you before, but instead you choose to stay tied down to your bedroom floor. 
It hurts to say “I love you” 
because now I will be without you, 
 But it’s better to avoid making more of a mess and time to lay this “friendship” to rest. 
 I wish you nothing but the best.

Best Friend
Dear Ex-Best Friend, Remember all the times we spent together, everyday started with meeting before classes started because that was the only time we could talk until lunch, remember all the times we laughed so hard we cried? Do you remember all the times we had to hold one another in times of the need because we thought all we had was each other? Yeah.. Me too. We spent all the time in the world texting and calling each other. Things changed a little since I got a boyfriend, but I never replaced you. You always had a special place in my heart, and I think you always knew that. We drifted apart, like two boats at sea. You switched back to the school you came from, and it felt like my life had just sunk. Suddenly I was all alone in the hallways, Coming in to school was like hell, Seeing the spot we used to stand in, Occupied by another set of best friends, Or maybe two high school sweethearts- Making out like there's no one around. It was so lonely without you. You seemed happier where you were though, and at that time, that was all that mattered to me. I walked the hallways with a sad, sorrowful look. Teachers frequently asked if I was sick, or if I needed to lay down. Suddenly I was that one kid that everyone wanted to pick and beat on. (Again.) I was incredibly lonely at school, I couldn't even sit with anyone at lunch because I was so hated by so many people for reasons I didn't even know. Come upon my junior year I got a month and a half into the school year before I switched to the school that you went to. I was reunited with my best friend, Life seemed so good. I was with my boyfriend, and my bestfriend. It felt like nothing could stop me from gaining happiness. You began going through boyfriends, They would come, and they would go. I was put second to all of them. There were days I was so depressed I didn't function correctly, and all we would talk about is what you and your boyfriend did the previous night. I was so happy that you were happy, but I think I forgot the definition of "Happiness." Everyday was full of being ignored and having guys' push past me so they could hug you while I sat in the sideline just waiting there, tears filling in my eyes because I realized that I wasn't significant to my best friend any more. I couldn't help but wonder what I did wrong. I got tired of feeling this way, I grew up, and realized that highschool isn't meant for gaining the love and affection of people. I proceeded to end the friendship because it wasn't making me happy anymore. I understand that a true friend stays there through everything but in no way, shape, or form did I deserve to be kicked to the curb like a diseased puppy. It hurt, It hurt like a ***** But ultimately , I'm gonna be okay in the end. And I hope she ends up okay, too. But, just be okay without me.

Now you're doing the things that we once did with someone else and I'm not okay with it. I told myself I'd never allow regret to seep into my mind and I still haven't but I'm feeling sad because of everything we built time and time again that I had to throw into the trash because of the things that you said and did. I hope it was worth it for you, obviously you've moved on without tears or pain while I am the one floating in the sea of disdain. You'll always be the friend I tried so hard not to give up on.

Floating in The Sea of Disdain
I will never forgive you for anything that you did you made everything about you and denied it it was always what I had done to you you were never in the wrong and because of it all we no longer talk I hope that you think it was worth it because I'm conjured up in a storm because of it.

Lost Because of You
Just like the song that we sang on the top of our lungs together.     "And just maybe you're gonna be the one that saves me". And at the end you really did save me, you were the net to my fall. I know I saved you as well, you use to say that you didn't feel so small. But that's not all. On your saddest days when there was no hope to be found. I reminded you that I would always stick around. I told you that you had an artist style. That always make you smile. But that took a while. Although you called me your best friend. You treated me like I was dead. It was as if the softest silk was suddenly sand paper. I didn't understand what you wanted me to do. I cared the most of all the people you knew. But when I skipped school on Monday. Because I felt sick to my stomach thinking about it. That very night I wrote the letter. The letter that took until 1am because I kept crying on the paper. The letter that broke our friendship apart. Tuesday, April 21. Our friendship was over. I handed you the letter and I walked away. I regretted the moment I did so. I wanted to walk back and say sorry. I'm sorry, Wonderwall. It's been over a month since we've talked. I heard you haven't been your best. I hope you know you can always come to me. But you probably hate me anyways. I hope you find peace Hayley, I'm sorry.
