The So Called 'Friend'

watch out! there are people who pretend to hug you but instead stab you.

I was never into all you do

But once I stepped in I couldn’t go

 

Yours smiles, your words and fake etiquette

Cast a spell on me which I refused to hate

 

I made you my friend without realization

That there was no match for our mental synchronization

 

Gradually I felt there was something surely wrong

You had been using me for your purpose for so long

 

You never really cared about any of my deeds

Unless I was there to cater your needs

 

But I can’t bear this now I’m way too sore

Though you’ve made me a fool you won’t anymore

Author's Note

Sometimes there are people who just fake around and pretend to be your friend. But they forget that you exist when you need help.

This is so filled with the pain caused by those who are too shallow to really love, to be a true friend that stays close no matter what. And though you write of the sorrow, you write of the strength as well, to move on with your life and not be pulled back anymore. Powerful.

Very well said and controlled in structure, a simple but quite powerful poem.

once you really hurt someone, it will always be in the back of their mind. even if they have a smile on their face. nicely penned.

This is relatable...there are lots of people who never show their real side...they came into our lives with a purpose. And when they hurt us, they do it real bad...we should always prepare for how to deal with such kind of people. The hard part is to find out who is using you just to fulfill their own needs.
Thanks for sharing.

There are takers and givers. Takers always need.
