best friends

its suposed to be a promise
to be there
whenever
whatever
a sholder to cry on
a person to laugh with
a friday night
a needed phone call
its not suposed
to be an obligation
a requierment
a chore.
except
thats what it always ends up being
to them anyway
my "best friends"
i become a chore
a burdan
until they need me that is
until they need something
they cant burdin
their new friends with
"they wouldnt understand"
they say
"your the only one who gets me"
and of course i do it
what are best friends for
if not to help
in times of need
but when i need them
theyre busy
they cant talk
or hang out
they have plans or
"their parents make them stay in"
its suposed to be a promise
and it seems like
this one
is broken
