Friend or No Friend at All

I’m always there for you,
no questions asked.

I’ll never turn my back to you,
no matter what.

I live and die for you,
expecting nothing in return.

I’ll lend a shoulder to cry on,
and dry all your tears.

I’ll be there with you till the end,
and never think twice about why.

I’ll give you my time and energy,
without once, thinking about myself.

I’d give everything I own,
just to see you smile.

I’ll stand up for you,
even if you’re wrong.

I’ll take all the disheartening things you say about me,
and act like they were never said.

I’ll pull the knife you placed,
clean it off and give it back to you.

I’ll sit back and watch,
as you destroy the life I’ve made.

I’ll introduce you to my friends,
and watch them walk away.

I’ll act like nothings wrong,
while I’m dying inside.

We used to be close,
but you’ve got more important things.

I try to talk to you,
but you won’t listen to what I have to say.

When you need someone to talk to, and can’t get a hold of anyone else,
I’ll act like you’ve never hurt me and listen to what you have to say.

I listen to your dreams,
never downing them.

I helped you reach the stars,
while putting myself further from my desires.

I’ve always put your needs first,
while you’ve pushed mine further in the mud.

I cry at night wondering,
why you’d do this to a friend.

The only thing I can come up with,
I’m not a friend at all.

You treat me worse than dirt,
and make me feel bad.

You’re nice to all your other friends,
But me.

When they’re never there for you,
and I’m just waiting.

You’ll never know the pain you’ve caused,
because for you, I’ll never let it show.

So I just have one question,
Are you a friend, or not one at all?
