I Lost Myself

it explains itself

I lost myself, because I felt bad

I missed the friend I though that I had

It broke my heart to watch her be sad

But what I hated most, was when she got mad

Because then she just used me as her punching bag

All of my happiness had come to a halt

And I kept all my feelings locked up in my vault

Because no matter what happened, it was always my fault

Every word from her mouth burned my wounds like salt

It's like I don't exist, when her happiness ends

I was more of a therapist, than one of her friends

I don't know what happened, or what's going on

But the you that I knew is most definitely gone

And the you that's here now, I'll never miss her

I'll just miss the person I thought that you were

I'm still going to be here if you ever need help

But if things go bad, I won't be blaming myself

I've decided no longer will I play your game

So next time you need me, go ahead call my name

But if I'm not there, then you know who to blame

Totally can relate this so well to my friend that always come to me for help because he doesnt know what to do with the person your basically describing. Another amazing piece !

I could really relate to this because one of my best friends is just like this. Taking her anger out on me when things don't go her way, using me as her emotional punching bag. It's not fun, but after awhile, you have to learn to stand up to them and tell them how hey are treating you is not okay and how you could walk right out of their life if they don't start respecting you. Every friendship will have it's ups and downs, but no person should tear a person down so bad just because they have a bad day. It's not worth it...

[David Burke]

I agree completely lol and I'm glad I could speak to you through my work it's all I ever wanted my words to do :)

[I Am Svetlana]

Yeah, I understand how your feelings are since I deal with my share of depression. And yes, your words speak to me perfectly through your writings :) The are simply beautiful.
