Toxic friendship: a poem

Work Text:

you could attack me
stab me and break my neck
but I would forgive you
and immediately come back

if you broke my heart
if you slapped me in the face
I'd be the one who apologized
cause I don't want to be replaced

you’ve made me cry myself to sleep
you’ve made me so fucking sad
but every time you talk to me
I'm still so incredibly glad

because even if you insult me
or if you put me through hell
I'm relieved you’re still talking to me
and I don't care if you scream or yell

because you're the only one I have
everyone else went away
so I’ll do anything for you
if that means you’ll stay

you call me 10 times a day
always yelling or crying
and I try to make you feel better
even if that means I'm dying

I know you’d be there for me if I asked
but sometimes I wonder if you really would
because even though I dry all your tears
I don't know if you could

I prioritize you before me
I’d bleed for you, I’d die for you
I'd console you from the edge of a bridge
but I don't think you would too

I can't afford to lose you
I’d be all on my own
my other friends have left me too
so I would be all alone

I changed everything for you
I’m always wearing a mask
because I need you to like me
so I do whatever you ask

you don't need the extra burden
you already have such a hard life
I’ll just handle this on my own
even if that means taking my knife

I know I choose not to say anything
so I really can't blame you
but please just don't abandon me
cause I don't know what I’d do
