I'm glad that I ripped you from your winds of contentment to leave you in pain and confusion once more. I'm good at that, aren't I?

Empathy?

EMPATHY?!?!??!!

What would you know of empathy?
You certainly dont demonstrate any of it to me.

This game we play.. might as well run around killing each other if you ask me!

I've had it with your whining. The pain you feel is my own, [edited by Moderator].

Dont tell ME... It just hurts, you know?

Cant you have a little consideration for me?

I'm still trying to find myself. Dont you go rubbing it in because you think you are somehow more special than the rest of us.

Truth is.. there are things about me you will never know in this life.. and I know that you have your own little world of deception to call your own.

You and your stupid little double life.

You and your lies.

Yes, we all understand.

Understand that I really do understand, underneath it all, you know?

I wanted to get rid of you for so long now.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT?!?!??!

I've BEEN sick of you!!! [you and your foul, self-defeating perception of the world]

And you only begin to be sick of me now...

IT's ABOUT [edited by Moderator] TIME!

Bring it on, you fool!
I dont care for you, and theres nothing that you can say or do to change that.

FRIENDSHIP??

I know nothing of friendship.. except for the fact that it matters when it matters.

My heart is empty, INDEED. This is something you so graciously allowed me to realize about myself.

Well thanks alot! You have thoroughly insulted me more so than anyone ever could. What have I done about it? For one thing.. i played dumb and forgave you.

One thing I know about myself is that I will forgive anybody for any of thier wrongdoings.

CAN YOU DO THAT?!??!?!??!

HUH?!?!??!?!?!??!

Didn't think so.

Sit down, youngin.

I will always forgive you.

unlike you.

You still have much to learn. [HAHA]

Thanks for looking at the bright side of the situation for once!!

Friendship?
I know nothing of friendship.. except for the fact that it matters when it matters.

Where will you be when it starts to matter?

[Hmmm.. funny... thats EXACTLY what I thought!]

This bridge I humbly burn, never to return,
never to regret, i wont look back once.

I wont miss you, because I know better.

Friend.




Friends are quiet angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble
remembering how to fly.
