The Broken Promise

Friends Forever,
That’s what we promised.
“No matter what happens,
No matter who we meet,
We’re here for each other.”
That’s what you said.
What happened to our friendship?
What happened to our promises?
We were going to go on a road trip,
Get drunk and be crazy.
Just the two of us.
Then she changed it.
You met her,
You fell in love.

When she breaks your heart,
Don’t come to me.
I was always there for you,
But you were too wrapped up with her too see it.
I’ve tried to tell you,
I give up.
I don’t want to waste my energy on a friendship
That you don’t care about.
You weren’t there for me when I slit my wrists,
When I cried for losing you,
When I was drunk with a bottle of painkillers in me.
I was there for you,
When she rejected you the first time,
When you got ran over by a car,
When you cried for losing your friends for her.
But I’m not going to be there anymore.

When and if you notice I’m gone,
Find a new best friend.
I can’t be there for you
When you aren’t there for me.
I can’t pretend we’re still best friends,
Pretend our promise can last.
I don’t want to pretend I care about you,
I stopped caring when you left me.
You left me with my depression,
My bleeding wrists,
My tearstained face,
My depressing thoughts,
The broken promise we made.
