A Friends Betrayal

You once said to me you would be a loyal friend,
You once said to me our friendship would never end.
You once said to me you would never gossip or scowl,
You once said to me you would never let me down.

But now here we are, our friendship broken,
Because you put our friendship fire that was smokin’.
You hurt me, you made me feel guilty,
You made me cry, you should feel filthy.

You tricked me, you manipulated me,
You made me feel like a ball on a tee.
You made me think twice about absolutely nothing,
You made me lose my appetite, I remained starving.

I was not your friend to be laughed at or judged,
I was not your friend to let you hold a grudge.
You took advantage of me,
You never let me be.
