We were best friends and I trusted you,
Drama all the time behind my back and I had no clue.
I helped you change your life from bad to better,
Boyfriend came to me for help with minor problems because he did not want to upset her.
I would have done anything for you and I thought you felt the same,
If I heard someone calling me, next I heard your name.
We were always together and could not be separated,
Before we each found someone serious we always double dated.
For years we bonded and became so close that I could look at you and know what you were thinking,
We would always watch each other’s backs when we went out for a night of drinking.
Then overnight you changed into a stranger,
I did not realize that because of you my relationship could have been in danger.
When I realized you had started lying to me I didn’t know what you would have to hide?
When I found out what you tried to do I could not forgive you because of my pride.
Thinking you could ever lie to me and I would never ever know,
You made it seem as though you used our friendship just for show.
Your actions have hurt me more than anyone else has ever hurt me before,
The reason I will not return your apologetic phone calls is because I refuse to be hurt once more.
And did you honestly think that you would succeed?
Trying to take over my life in the midst of all your greed.
When your man left you I was always by your side,
You became depressed and I told you he isn’t worth a second thought because to you he had lied.
If I had to work late I told you to call my boyfriend and go over there to wait for me so you wouldn’t have to be alone,
Only because my work would not allow me to talk for long periods on the phone.
I think anyone would be able to understand my frustration,
For our friendship I had a higher expectation.
For if I knew what you were plotting to do next,
I could have dealt with it instead of being left vexed.
A very important lesson I have learned,
Truly a shame that to learn the lesson I had to be burned.
