I trusted you when I shouldn't have
I let my guard down and you came in
shame on me for letting you fool me
with talks of friendship and sisterhood
when you were the biggest liar
that I had ever met.

I made the mistake of liking you
I defended you when others did not
rumors about you would spread
around the school
and it was me who put them out
it was me who put them in their place.

Then one day he appeared to you
you were drawn to him right away
I couldn't see what made him so irresistable
but I saw the way that you changed.
You started changing what you wore
you changed your whole identity
for him.

I was losing you to a monster
every other day you'd call me up
crying over what he did to you
asking me for help, for guidance.
And everytime I told you to leave
you'd say that you loved him
even if he hit you.

Our friendship started to deteriorate
I was left all alone in the dark
he wouldn't let you see your friends
and seeing me was nearly impossible then.
What kind of friend does that to someone?
What kind of friend were you
to abandon me?

The abuse kept coming
bruises appeared all over your arms
you'd shrug it off and say you fell
down the steps
or that you bumped it against the door
but once I looked in your eyes
and I knew the truth.

Maybe it was selfish of me
to give up on you like I did
but what else was I to do?
You lied to me dozens of times
one day you weren't together
the next day you were.

I was tired of being pushed aside
so tired of dealing with this everyday
I did all I could to help you
but you came to the point where
our friendship didn't matter
all that mattered to you
was him.

Now here we are months later
and now you say you're sorry
for choosing a guy over a friend
and all I feel towards you is anger.
You betrayed me when I needed you
all I ever did was be there for you
and you know it's true.

I don't know how I feel anymore
I can't go on hating you
and I never really did.
More than anything, I was hurt
hurt that you let things go this far.
So where do we go from here
when all I want is to be normal again?

Can we even be friends again?
That idea just seems so far away
I don't think I could trust you
or that you could ever trust me
because one thing about me
is that I forgive
but I never really do forget.

These incidents are always very trying and upsetting.  If you can, try to salvage your friendship!  Someday you may be glad you made that effort.

A friend in need is a friend indeed!
So powerful with emotion...but I beg you
to try to recapture the friendship that you
had. We don't realize what we had until we loose it! We all make mistakes and need forgiveness and at the very least another chance!

(big angel hugs) I understand how you feel ever so much, dearest friend, and I too wish for you to try to keep the friendship as no one is perfect and se too is suffering and needs a hand and angel hug to comfort her! (sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet friend, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Some friendships are too important to lose, time and life are not infinite after all. Grab the moment while you can.
