Friendship Poem by Phillip Dodham Cormier

I was there by your side
I helped you
We spent long hours together
Then I realized I meant nothing to you
You called me friend
But was I truly that?
Did you truly care?
I would see all the pictures to the events I wasn’t invited to
I heard the stories
The inside jokes that I would never understand
Yet you called me friend
Times came and went
I still remembered you
It looks like you forgot me
How long did we know each other?
Does that matter?
I guess not
If this is friendship I want none
I don’t want to sit back and hear about the fun times
I want to experience them
I may be quiet
I may not always say the right things
I may be weird
That does not mean I have no heart
That I do not like to have fun
But to you I guess it does
