We were alright
You dressed me up,
Showed me off
Took me about.
“I want to simp over you”
Then
She and you,
To the beach out of sight.
Not okay, it’s not a lie-
When you said we could never be fine.
You said it’s cause we’re both bipolar.
You said you needed time to come to terms with being (half) gay.
You said you weren’t mentally ready to be committed.
You said we’re better as friends.
I never saw you again.
“I’ll see you soon”
“That sounds really fun”
But I bet you had more fun,
Sucking on her tongue.
A week after we were alright,
Then not.
She left her man, a rotten slob.
Then you and her, two by two
Breaks and lunches, all afternoons
Working on each other, too.
You didn’t tell me.
You didn’t text me after that,
Even tho you said,
You would have my back.
You said we’d still be friends,
But you know that is a lie,
You never meant to text me back,
You never meant to see me soon.
“She’s just my best friend there’s nothing there”
tho, we were perfectly alright.
She treated me suspicious,
I was treated delusional.
You never needed time.
I was just a pretty girl,
Who wouldn’t name you in a rhyme.
“I don’t need anyone to take care of me”
“I needed to figure it out myself”
Then three weeks later,
You found yourself talking
In shadows to everyone but me,
The fool you got to answer the phone
When you were sobbing about your anxieties.
No longer your friend,
Just a shame you won’t keep.
As you move on to Ashley
To sweep her off her feet.
I want to hate you.
to be mean and rude.
But instead I’ll say
“you’re only human”
And keep glancing at the moon.
