Times of Tough

Quick poem to express my feelings

I made my decision,

To do what was best for me,

And I thought you would stick by me,

Because you were my closest friend,

 

You told me I could trust you,

That you would always be there,

But the second I put myself first,

You turned your back and left,

 

I never learnt the easy way,

I guess this is just another step,

To trust another being,

Is something not made for this world,

 

Being fragile and honest,

Is asking for trouble,

Being kind and open,

Is a flashing light in a storm,

 

I began to trust you,

With the things that brought me down,

I told you things,

That took me to that dark place,

 

I left the place that was slowly killing me,

To survive and bloom,

I thought you would stick by me,

Yet you turned your back and left,

 

You have new friends now,

Ones that put you first,

Friends that stick by you,

If only they knew the truth,

 

You bailed when it got harder,

And left me flailing by self,

Turned your back on my cries,

Shut your ears to my tears,

 

I thought I could be strong,

But it seems the world deems it not so,

For I no longer speak of those troubles,

And trust is a word I no longer know,

 

I doubt each passing smile,

And snare at the ones who tell me to trust,

For they don’t know of the people like you,

Who take advantage and ensnare,

 

So when you next come to me,

I will no longer be here,

For once more I have to attend,

To the damage that is my mind,

 

I wish you well amongst the hell,

But I can’t put you before self,

I am the damage that needs help,

Because you turned your back and left,

 

Those friends of yours wont treat you well,

They are replicas of you,

Bailing in the times of tough,

And finding someone new,

 

I wasn’t just another you,

I was me, and you were you,

But I wasn’t good enough for you,

So remember that, in times of tough.
