To my dearest friend...A Poem by Julie Skyes
Once, twice Thrice.
You choose to believe him over me His opinions Always mattered more, He always came first. No matter how much I hated it, never raised my voice I stayed quiet, quiet because I saw the love, Behind the pain and tears, that began consuming you exponentially, Slowly grooming you into what he sees I tried my best to not make u choose Probably afraid, I was never an option Because no matter how comforting my words could be, it held no power, not like his. I don’t blame you, The constant pricks and stabs would eventually become all you ever knew. A habit, that you now can’t live without. I tried to not take offense But I’m sorry I did I tried my hardest to fight for you like I promised, But I find it takes too much out of me these days, It leaves me questioning my worth, My pride is constantly hurt, my heart constantly trying to make sense, But I am being consumed by my paranoia. I don’t know how to help you All I ever wanted, is to be there for you, a friendly face But ur constant need to surround urself with negativity, draining ur personality and self worth, Is something I refuse to stand by. So here I am, with my last move A grand gesture you could say, Showing some tough love, Hoping you understand, this is not the end. But a fruitful beginning to the person I know you could be. © 2020 Julie Skyes |
