     I stopped being close to you.
We were great friends once.
I trusted you

You trusted me.
But I couldn't trust you.
You spread lies
Like a sparrow spreads it's wings.
You did bad things.
Were with bad people
Who hurt you.
On the night you called me, saying you would end your life,
I cried.
I helped you.
But when the person who was hurting you
hurt me,
You stood and watched.
We warned you.
About him.
About what you were doing
About what you were smoking.
You didn't listen.
You kept hurting me and kept saying you were sorry and you'd do better.
Why did you lie to me?
I cared, I did.
And we were back to being friends

But it didn't last long.
You avoided me on my birthday.
That hurt.
You apologized,
But I know you didn't mean it.
And then you physically hurt me.
I fought back.
I haven't spoken to you since.
I don't intend to again.
But thanks for the memories.
I had fun.
