Why should I be honest

When all it does is ruin things?

Why should I be truthful

When no one else is?

Why should I go through this alone

Just because someone else is too fragile

To handle things on her own?

I'm fragile too.

I'm worth it too.

I have feelings too.

And not to invalidate her,

Just please don't put her first

When it's clear you're going to choose her side.

Actually,

No.

Don't come to me.

Don't give me anything else,

Don't give me time,

Or heartache.

Don't tell me you feel bad,

When you clearly don't.

Don't say you're going to hang out

When you'd rather be doing something else.

Why are you never there for me?

I'm there for you.

Why don't you ever have my back?

I have yours.

Please.

I'm begging.

Just be there.

Just once.

I need you.

So why don't you need me?
