Why did you pry things out of me?
If you didn't want to know?
If later, you were only going to humiliate me?
I know you didn't know what to do.
You were trying to help,
And you did a little.
That’s something I can say for you.
But you changed your story.
I bet now you're sorry.
Sorry that you opened up
The can of worms too quickly.
You didn't know.
You got more than you could handle.
I bet you wished you had left well
Enough alone.
You don't want the drama anymore,
You certainly have your own.
And I've had quite enough of your helping.
All I can take for one lifetime, thank you.
What good was your being there,
If I didn't feel safe to talk to you?
You were a self-martyred friend,
But you're right about one thing,
Never was I yours.
I should have known better,
After years of bullying.
I hate that I was naive.
Thought that we could be close.
For the longest time that's
All I ever wanted.
That's why you crushed me.
Now the only thing I want
Is never to see you.
Because you haven't changed.
And yes, I just want an apology,
But I'll never get one.
So now all I want is to stop thinking about this.
But I can't because I'm forced to see you.
I could move on if the same old stuff
Wasn't always in my way.
I'm not mad,
As long as I don't remember.
But your actions keep reminding me.
