PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

My default setting is paranoia,

to believe that you want to hurt me.

My gut has been wrong sometimes;

but with you it was completely right.

For 7 years, you made me believe

that you wanted to be in my life.

But I missed all the red flags.

Like the fact that I wouldn't see you

for years at a time.

Like the fact that you never 

shared anything about you with me.

Like the fact that you rarely

reached out to me.

I wish you had just left years ago

instead of dragging this out.

You left me when I had no one else.

You abandoned me and pushed me

to the brink of suicide.

And that was before I realized

that our friendship was a lie.
