I was always there for you, I listened to you complain, pout, shout, wine, scream, and cry.

I watched you fall apart and I was the one who had to put your pieces back together.

You never listened to me.

You listened to everyone except for me.

I always told you what would happen and how it would happen,

you never believed me.

And finally you caught me on a bad day, I was fed up. You tried to tell me that I was bad for you that you had no idea why I always acted this way.

So we stopped.

I was out of place without you, I had no in.

But that wasn't why I was upset. I spent so much time on you, listening to all your shit. I got nothing in return, you never tried to pick my pieces up, never tried to hear me out.

After everything that I've done for you, I got nothing.

And of course I wasn't in this friendship for a return, but when I was upset I never had a shoulder to cry on that was all I wanted.

A friend.

And you were supposed to be the best, my best.

People noticed quickly and when they asked I said nothing.

When they wanted to know your demons I said nothing.

When they wanted to know the "scoop" I said...nothing.

And you said everything.

You always did.
