Cup of Tea Poetry

Ode to My Former Pal

Were we ever really friends?

Because it is so easy for you to cast me off

Lay me aside while convenience isn’t available to you at the moment

I may be sensitive

But it hurt

And the fact that I know you are aware of it, while nonchalant

Proves my previous sentiment to be true

You were never really my friend.

Sure we’ve had some laughs

And we’ve come to each other’s aid

But you’ve never seen me as really relevant.

No!

I never really mattered

The same thing I listened to you complain about in others

I see right now in you

I apologize for thinking it was sincere

Please know

I will not make that mistake again

Because I’m not a fair weather friend

Sure I’ve had my moments

But I’ve always been just

But you

You don’t get it

And you say I have a lot to learn

You may think this is amplified

But I am justified in getting this off my chest so I can move on

And get over it

I can let it go

See I can still be cordial, respectful and polite

But that doesn’t mean I will go back to being on your team

We will be like passing trains in the night

I will be on my side

You will be on yours

If I see you down

I’ll stop and help you up

But after you’re standing

I will keep on walking

Not for vanity and spite
