HYPOCRITES

HYPOCRITE
You say you would never
Ever desert us for him
Or even her
But don’t you see that is exactly what you are doing?
Slowly
Bit by bit
She is drawing you closer
And you are drifting from us
Or maybe just me
Maybe I am the only one that feels
The way I do
But you can’t say nothing has changed
Because it has
We hardly talk
You talk more to her
The one you supposedly despise
You talk so much shit about her
Make her sound like a living hell
And then you go and laugh with her
Him to
You do the same
He hurts you so bad
He makes all the pain
Come flooding back
He makes you want
To hurt yourself
Don’t say it’s not true
You’re fooling no one
But yourself
He makes you cry
More than he makes you laugh
Sometimes it feels like the only time
You ever come to me
Is when you’re hurt
Depressed over something else
What are best friends for?
I am supposed to be here
Thinking of no one but myself
But here I am doing just the opposite
But aren’t you supposed to do the same
You don’t really see it when I’m sad
You seem to care more when
You are hurt
You come up to me
Out of no where and say
“Jamie I need to talk to you.”
Right away
I know it’s about him
Or perhaps this time her
I try to be there
I really do
But the stress of catering to you
Is starting to get to me
I’m starting to see
That maybe you are only in this
Part of this friendship for yourself
You need someone to be there
Always ready to care
But so do I
I have one friend
In particular
Who has been there these past few months
Never leaving my side
She is always the one to come and help me
She sees it when I am truly upset
She is there for me like I try to be for her
She thinks only of me
In my time of need
And I just hope I do the same for her
Other wise
For once in our lives
We would have something in common
And we’d both be total and complete
