Why are you friends with the person who hurt me?

I love you, I do

I thought you loved me

But lately it seems

I can't tell you anything


I used to be excited to see you

But now I'm not

Nervous and uncomfortable

Slightly in shock


You used to bring me peace

Ease my worried mind

But now my anxieties rise

You make them polish and shine


I'm sorry you bring me

So much discomfort

I know you do not mean

To cause me any hurt


But you have hurt me

With your alignment and your ways

So now when you smile

I avert my gaze


I miss our friendship

The way we'd share our fun

But now I can't cry to you

My trust has come undone
