i thought we were friends. we did things together, we sat together, we spent time together. so i thought we were friends.
you would laugh at my jokes and talk to me every day. we did what most friends would do for months. i actually thought you cared because friends are forever right?
i guess i was stupid for thinking that because it turns out you didn't care about me.
you played me.
you talked about me behind my back, you dragged me through the dirt for no reason. did you think i would never find out? that i wouldn't care? of i course i did. and it stung.
you spoke hurtful things about other people under your breath. people who were probably going through so much, and yet you judged them harshly. those people didn't deserve it, and neither did i.
you were never my friend.
this must have seemed like a joke to you. befriending me just so you can make fun of me. learn things about me just so you could use to against me.
now i have an empty hole in my heart because i thought we were friends. but you didn't care about me or my feelings.
if only you knew how many things that happened to me.
