Used

Why do people insist,
On treating me this way?
Why do I bother,
To live another day?

You played with me,
Like I was some sort of toy.
Using me and using me,
I was your decoy.

You wanted to attain something,
That was better than me.
But you didn't realize,
How hurt I would be.

Of course you didn't care,
I didn't think you would.
My feelings don't matter to you,
I didn't think they could.

You broke my heart,
And parted me from a friend.
I did not want that,
To be the end.

You didn't know the real me,
Lying underneath.
You can't tell what a knife looks like,
Under its sheath.

Nor can you tell what I hold,
Hidden on the inside.
Unless you stuck with me,
Stride for stride.

But your choice was not to,
To leave me and abandon me.
For my best friend,
Unbelievably.

Personally, I hope you die,
What you did was wrong.
But I held up as best I could,
And tried to stay strong.

It doesn't matter now,
I'll move on with other things.
Move on with my life,
And see what it brings.
