The friendship ended…
When you had to fight for their attention
When you had to go out of your way
To get them to respond to what you had to say
When they spoke half truths with blurry lines
You can’t make them want to be your friend
But they don’t get to be upset when it comes to an end.
The friendship ended…
When you wanted the best for them even when you were hurt
When you did all that you could to be there for them and make it work
When you became a chore to them instead of a companion
Those moments of silence suddenly feel like empty canyons
When they once felt like moments of understanding
But you can’t change a mind that is already set.
The friendship ended…
When they started blocking you out
When they started letting their guard down
When you pushed them to be healthier and to change
And when they started having more and more good days
When they became afraid of the support that you gave
When they realized that getting stronger means things will never be the same
Someday they will be better but it will probably be long after you’ve left.
The friendship ended…
When they started faking their compliments constantly
When they started pretending to be interested in your life story
When they thought they could lie straight through their teeth
About the decisions they made and their reasoning
When they chose to make the same mistakes
When they chose to suffer the same old heartbreaks
When they listened to others who sought to bring them down
When they gave permission for someone else’s hatred to be so loud
They forgave the sinners acting like saints
But you know that you can’t sit back and wait
For them to come back to terms again
And realize all those nightmares won’t come to an end
When they closed the door and left you down and out
There’s nothing nothing more you can do now.
The friendship ended…
And it’s time to say goodbye
If they find someone better
Then give them this last bit of advice:
“Hold them closer than you held me –
Don’t you dare ever push them aside.”
