Do I not matter to you?

Am I just a plaything you used

Just to be amused

Like watching wooden puppets

Controlled by marionettes

Dance and move?

You lied to me.

You didn't care about my words

My thoughts

My feelings.

You just wanted me to go away

Because there was no reason

No reason at all, you say

To befriend me.

But now we speak.

I confide in you.

You listen to me,

But I doubt you hear the words I tell.

You never open up

Instead giving me sugar sweet

Candy coated white lies

Just so I won't taste

The bitter truth.

You have stabbed me

With knives that draw no blood

But I feel weakened all the same.

I know we only began talking

Because you wanted something from me.

You wanted me to give you something

That surprisingly formed a bridge between us.

But now you have burned your end

As I stand by mine

Broken and tired,

Hoping I haven't lost a friend.

Yes, you are my friend.

A friend who I never want to lose.

But what am I to you?

You don't have to reply--

This title will suffice.
