Why did you lie to me?

Tell me everything’s fine

Tell me you have boundaries

When you are no longer the person I know

When you are different

Why?

Did you have to be so absurdly direct

Sliced my heart

Telling me I am in a lonely place

When I am feeling content

Why do you call yourself a friend?

When all you ever do

Is bring me down

When I’m already in the dumps

Why?

Do I bother so much

About these people

Who calls me their “friend”

I only have one word for them

T O X I C

Yet they come crawling to me

When they need something

Will I be used

Forever

An entanglement which won’t ever break

Because of a vulnerability of mine
