107. To My Ex Friend K Poem by Jaden Knight

To my ex friend K
if you are reading this then I will shortly be gone
out of your life
and those you know

I guess I want to say good bye
even though we are not speaking at present
the blame of that could hardly be mine
no completely the opposite

I guess it was because of the way that you were with me
that I thought I could trust you as a friend
it seems that I got it wrong once more
I usually do these days

Alone you were as I thought you were
quiet but helpful and friendly
but when your friends were around
you were a different person

What the hell you think you were doing
apart from showing off in front of them
I’ve heard the shit you’ve said about me
when you’re hanging round with them

Of course you deny the lot
and say I’ve got it wrong
but after what’s been happening
now I’m not so sure

You watch them take the piss
but don’t join in your self
except when my back is turned
or when you think I can’t hear you

I thought that others were driving us apart
but now I know the truth
you’ve had a hand in all of it
playing me off against them

Well now that I’m going away
never to return to the same spot
I would have wished you happiness
but for what’s gone on
at least you don’t know where I live
so I don’t need to see you again and explain it all

But now I’ll just say goodbye
I won’t thank you for what you did
but I’m not going for revenge either
it would only show that I’m at your level
but I’m far beyond that now
