“Unrequited”
written on 4/4/09
i just laugh as i flip through the dictionary
your definition of friendship falls under acquaintance in my book
you said so many kind things before you kicked me to the street
but now i question everything based on your apathy
you say you want to be friends
but your words don’t match your actions
’cause i only hear an echo
instead of an answer when i speak
you dislike my depression
but what did you expect
why must i always be a beacon
for you to seek me out
you expect for me to rebound as if nothing ever happened
but sometimes rebuilding
is easier when you’re not alone
you wonder why i’m still down
not sure why it’s so hard to see
the connection that once meant everything to me
has become a friendship that’s a one-way street
transient
