Too Times Too Many

 

I’ve given you chances

But all have failed

I’ve given you warnings

But without success

 

I’m done with hoping

Since my hopes mean nothing to you

I’m done with this friendship

I’m through with dealing with you

 

For awhile it went great

Then it all fell apart

Our futures as friends flew high

Now the have collided and sank

 

Why must this happen now

All because of what one person does

It’s clear to me now

That a group is more important then just two

 

We’ve been friends for a long time

That’s obviously been too long for you

Never listening to us

It’s always about them

 

My has been broken

Too times too many

Each time it’s been mended

It has unraveled again

 

Our friendship was long

I wish it was longer

It’s clear to me you really don’t care

Always making more time for them then for us

 

Always protecting them

Never us

Always giving into their whining and complaining

Yet never listening to us

 

They give us looks

Looks of their Victory over you

They mock their victory

Just to see us hurt

 

While you laugh and talk

We sit in sadness and pain

You yell at us

You say we’re talking behind you back

 

We’ve never talked about you behind your back

While they do it all the time

You’ve lied to us one too many times

Yet never to them

 

Even others see my point

But never you

I’m tired of you

Tired of being treated like were you’re trash you’ve left on the streets

 

Always ditching me for them

But never them for me

I see you like the druggies/w****s

More then you do us

 

 

I’m sorry I don’t like the fact

The fact of getting wasted whenever I can

I’m sorry my parents raised me to do what’s right

 

I’m human to you know

I care, I love, I hate

I feel pain just like you

What can I say but you’ve failed a perfect friendship.

i remember when you showed this to me. you were so upset. i love you. this is one of the reasons why i want you happy.

I sense the chaos of frustration when I read this...and the pain in the loss that is accompanying the reality of letting go. The undercurrent here is intense, and there is much vulnerability expressed. An energetic write!

The eixistential territory of friendship... us vs them, mine vs theirs, my morals vs their/your morals. The questions: do you care anymore? Is the relationship worth being salvaged? Why?
So much depth in one poem. It would make a good introduction to a story.
