I Was Nothing To You! Poem by Paul Burt

I Was Nothing To You!

We were friends or so I thought
I always thought highly of you
but you pretended to do the same
you pretended to be a friend to me
I didn't pretend to be your friend

I never said a bad word about you or to you
But I wondered if you did the same
or did you feel otherwise behind my back
you blocked me without thinking twice
Discarded me like I was some piece of shit
without a reason why it happened

You hurt me in more ways then you'll ever know
That hurt will never go away nor will I forgive or forget
I was genuine with the friendship I had with you
You hide behind a mask and facade with me
I never that with you but in the end
I was nothing to you

I have friends that are genuine friends to me
It don't matter how far away or close they are to me
they've always been there for me during my highs and lows
they support me had my back Can you say the same?
And even if they didn't agree with something I did
They don't block me for no reason unlike you

But in the end I was nothing to you
