loyalty just ain’t that common

Summary:

just a little poem to help get over a friendship

Notes:

this isn't really meant for anything, i just wanted to write down my feelings and send them out to anyone who might be struggling with the same situation or a similar one to mine... i've been trying to move on from a friendship i had to terminate this year, so it's been really hard to truly accept that they are not going to revert back to the best friend i knew. this is my attempt to get my head back in the game and focus on myself and the present rather than how much they've hurt me in the past. ALSO!! if you recognize the title and a few of the lines from somewhere, i was inspired by "How Does It Feel" by Summer Walker. this track really hit home so it's fitting that i borrowed a few things from it lol.

how does it feel?

knowing i gave you so many chances, knowing i was there for you

and knowing you decided to change.

 

say what you want, twist the story a thousand times, 

but in the end you KNOW.

you know it was you that was the problem

 

do you take pride in demolishing a group that is supposed to support each other?

do you enjoy pitting our friends against each other?

does it build you up to break others down?

 

tell me— when you call me a priss, does it excuse your own shameless behavior?

i never judged you, but you judged enough for the both of us.

when you mock my religion you are mocking me

when you mock my parents you are mocking me

 

but when i stand up to you, i am in the wrong?

it is better to leave us in the past.

it is better not to let this toxic fire last

 

though i miss you, i do not truly miss you

i only miss the sophomore version of you, 

the version that cherished me

but even that is a lie— for how can i tell when you were telling the truth?

 

you used to lie for fun, i saw it as a joke

but now i don’t know where the line is drawn

were you lying all the time?

 

how does it feel in the end?
