Unfair friendship

It's like i'm invisible,
to her i'm not even there,
I try to make her trust me,
but it's no use, it's so unfair.

Why is it that i care so much,
but get nothing in return?
she pretends we are the best of friends,
but to be a friend, she'll never learn.

I can't help but feel mistread;
taken for granted and used,
will she always be this way?
Am i always gonna lose?

It seems she's only with me
when no one else could care,
but when she had a friend to go to
all of a sudden i'm not even there.
