Ex-friends

We were best friends at the start,

But apparently it was strained,

I don't even know what I did,

You never explained. 

I appreciated your help,

But when I tried to give some back to you,

You came screaming right at my face,

It was so out of the blue!

I tried to fix everything,

But you can't fix something that's shattered

You would laugh at my apologies,

Our friendship is just so tattered.

Now I just get silence,

And your menacing glares,

I just wish I was no longer ignored,

I've shed a fair amount of tears.

I attempted to move on,

But you never did,

I thought maybe- just maybe,

But who was I to kid?

I made new friends because,

I hated being so lonely,

You went back to your seven old friends,

While I only had three.

After some time,

That number dropped to two,

And guess who took the other one,

None other than you!

She spilled my secrets,

It felt like assault,

But then again,

That wasn't your fault.

History is repeating itself,

Now the glares come from both sides,

It's really confusing,

When your moods change like the tides.

Now neither of you,

Will speak to me,

But you'll both,

Speak about me.

All this drama caused,

The rumours to fly,

And you want sympathy,

While I just want to cry.

I'm not sure what more you want,

You took away a friend,

And sunk my spirits,

Over and over until the end.
