the Way You Made Me Feel

Why has the one so close to me
Betrayed me in such a cruel way.
Why has the one I loved as a friend
Brought our friendship to an end.

I’ll tell you the reason she turned on me
Why her heart filled with hate not love for me
I dared to stand up for a  girl who was not her mate
This is what turned her love into hate.

Her first plan was for me to say
“I’m sorry for what I did that day.”
I’m not sorry, I feel no shame,
Though now I am the one who takes the blame.

Now filled with anger all she could see
Was a way of getting back at me.
It wasn’t enough to do this on her own
She turned my friends against me till I was almost alone.

The friend I had loved for most of my days
Found another to hurt me in so many ways
Together they threatened to hurt and to kill
And the pain and the fear are with me still.

The words that they wrote, the things that they said
Still swirl around inside my head.
And inside my head  I hear a voice cry
Why did you do this Why oh Why.?

I tried to get someone to listen to me
I wanted them both just to let me be
They said they were going to hurt me
But the teachers never believed  this to be.

And so at last they both got me.
The hate in their eyes will never leave me .
I was the mouse caught By two cats
I was the mouse caught in the trap.

Even a mouse will try to get free
But even this has backfired on me.

I should have let them hit me and not fought back
Then they would be blamed for the attack
I should have just laid down to die
Because I did not people believe in their lie.

They say I started the fight that day
People believe them no matter what I say.
All power to the girl who wanted to hurt me
All power to the girl who has betrayed me.


So farewell to my life long friend
It is she that has lost out in the end.
I gave love and friendship but not anymore.
I have survived and like a bird I will soar.
