Twice Broken and Bruised
I forgave your intrusion and your betrayal
I loved you through the hardships of my life
When I needed you, you weren’t there for me
When I needed a friend, you were gone
I thought you were and would always be
My very best and most loyal friend
But it was like a wave crashing over me
When I found out how much you didn’t care
You lost my respect and you lost my trust
You broke my heart and bruised my soul
Not once am I injured because of you
But now I’m crippled because you did it again
Cause me pain once then shame on you
You hurt me twice still shame on you
Trust is a bridge built over time
A crossing of dimension between people
If you know that I am struggling then help me
If you know that I am lying then confront me
Don’t hide behind a lie because you’re jealous
Don’t place blame on the person not guilty
I never did anything to deserve this from you
Are you angry that I might be better at something?
Was is that you couldn’t stand 2nd place
Or was it selfishness that drove you mad
I’m so tired of your games and insults
So done with your friendship façade
I won’t ever give you another chance
You’ve lost me and my friendship
I hope that it was worth it
That it makes you feel good about yourself
Because our friendship has been erased
It no longer exists, I don’t think it ever did
So have fun with your lies and your schemes
I have made my share of mistakes
And my enemy so have you
But this time your lies won’t work
Don’t think that for even a second you’ll win
That you’ll somehow tarnish my reputation
Further than you already have beyond any form of repair
Because you’re wrong about me and your facts don’t add up
How can you say you know me when you don’t?
I love more than you ever have and will
I have more character in my little finger
More than you have in your entire body
I’m not prideful but I am so angry
I may not be able to forgive you for awhile
Giving forgiveness to someone is never easy
Especially when they don’t seem to deserve it
So as we have parted ways and no longer speak
I share this poem in hopes that you figure it out
That you learn how to be a true friend
To look out for someone that you call friend
Twice now you have destroyed my life
Twice now you have bruised my reputation
It may take a lot of work but this is what I know
God wiped clean my slate and I’m forever new
