You promised that you’d always be there. <br />You promised I could always count on you. <br />That you’d be there for me. <br />Well here I am in need of you. <br />And here I am once again alone. <br />And where are you? <br />Well you’re off with someone else. <br />Not having a care in the world. <br />Not really caring one tiny bit about me. <br />I was your shoulder when you need it. <br />I helped you in every way I could. <br />I was there 24/7,365. <br />And what have you done in return? <br />Nothing. <br />That’s right you have done nothing for me. <br />You’ve left me here once again alone. <br />You left me here to solve my own problems. <br />And once again I don’t have a shoulder to cry on. <br />And guess what. <br />I’m sick of it. <br />I’m sick of coming second. <br />Second to him. <br />I’m tired of being of used. <br />Of being used and then being tossed to the side. <br />That is until you need me again. <br />Then you tell me a bunch of lies, <br />Saying you’ll be there for me. <br />And I just can’t take it anymore. <br />I can’t take the hurt you are putting me through. <br />I can’t stand the idea of not talking to you. <br />But I will not come second. <br />I will not be a door mat for you. <br />I want to be there for you. <br />But I’m no longer going call you friend. <br />If you can’t be a true a friend. <br />If you can’t be there for me. <br />So next time he hurts you, <br />And I’m not there. <br />Maybe you’ll realize what I really meant to you. <br />Maybe you’ll regret what happen. <br />And maybe just maybe you’ll see that I was a true friend.<br /><br />Kelsea Osterman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/true-friend-58/
