Theme: A Friendship Slowly Fading Away
I had done something I wasn't supposed to,
I snitched on you.
I didn't mean what I had done,
I cared about you more than anyone.
The guilty feeling struck me,
But it was too much of a burden for me to see.
I was afraid to lose your trust,
I didn't want you to look at me with disgust.
You were my first friend,
I didn't want our friendship to end.
You made my life bearable,
Without you, it would have been terrible.
I wanted to tell you,
But I chose not to talk—to keep us far from what was true.
I will stay quiet,
Before our situation becomes violent.
Now, you completely changed my mind;
I found out you were talking about me from my behind.
I would've considered us fair,
But you kept on repeating it until I felt despair.
I began to despise your entire being,
My respect for you was slowly fleeing.
You had led me to hate you,
You were no longer the person I knew.
I could no longer conceal my anger toward you,
The color you gave my life, once again—turned blue.
I was always your last choice,
But I couldn't confront you because I had no voice.
When would you leave me alone?
Your true intentions toward me were left unknown.
Please, I beg you, vanish from my life;
Before I strike you with a knife.
I was tired of faking my emotions to you,
I never looked at you with a face so true.
I was only with you to survive high school,
Mainly to appear cool.
I wished I never envied you,
But the truth was something I couldn't undo.
You were well-known while I stayed behind your silhouette,
My goal to exceed you became set.
I would be lying if I said I didn't use you,
But adoring and idolizing you was true.
I have no other choice but to live with your actions,
Because I have no other distractions.
