Alone
Nice shoes, the muddy ones you just stomped in my face.
Do you see the blood run down my back?, the one you just stabbed.
Unaccompanied.
I drive you all over town, $2.89 a gallon.
It ain't cheap being your friend. In so many ways.

Alone
The melody plays all day long,
the thoughts of you, the friendship we once had.
Your pigtails are devils horns, and I hate you.
With each word that I have.

YOU
Called and invited them over.
and then his hands..

Alone I feel, because of you.
How could you do this to me? Your best friend.
I come from the lowest of places, your heart. To tell you how much hate I feel toward you.

Here are a dozen knives, and here is a target on my back... keep stabbing. Whore.

You sleep with every guy that comes through that door. God forbid he's diseased girl.

Then you made a phone call that brought me to my doom. The call that brings me to my knees each night. To beg for eternity, to beg for help to beg for peace and yet, the nightmares come.

Its over now. This friendship we once had. The piece is over. Literally, and as I fight this war I wage against myself for ever trusting you. Remember, I did everything because I loved you.

We were best friends forever.. BBF, Well know I know, BBF stands for Best friends...... you over.

Good bye, and good luck darling.

Its time now for me to move on.
with my own melody and a gentle harmony.


Sorry I probably should have refrained from using profanity, Sorry.

I hope you meant what you said with regards to that person. Nobody deserves to be treated like that, especially by a person who is supposed to be very close...

I enjoyed your "rant" and could relate to it, albeit in a different way.

The title caught my eye because I am one of those who have been hurt by life - no, by people.  Sometimes things happen over which we have no control but always, always, we are in control of our reactions thereto. I have learnt, albeit late in life, that what one gives so one receives and I try to always be conscious of that - don't always succeed but at least know when I have failed. There's no doubt that life is a testing ground with not much rest and recreation in between.  Sorry, got carried away.  Good luck and take care out there!
