Friend or Foe

Friend or Foe

A Poem by Mandi Hidalgo

When I needed you before,

You were always there,

But where are you now?

You’re in your own, little world,

Full of self pity,

Selfishness,

And self loathing,

Worrying only about yourself,

And how everything affects you.

You used to be so kind,

Big hearted,

Giving and loving,

But you’ve become a monster.

Your only concerns are cosmetic,

Artificial and pointless.

You are no longer the awesome person

You once were…

My friend.

You have turned your back on me,

Stabbed me in the heart before leaving,

And you don’t care

That I’m bleeding emotionally.

You’ve left me with no one.

You don’t want friends anymore.

You want people to serve you,

And your wants and needs.

You care not about what others want and need.

You’ve become heartless,

Cruel,

Thoughtless,

And I’m not sad to see you go.

I AM sad to lose something

That I’ve put so much time

And effort into,

But I’m not losing a friend,

So much as losing a burden.
