The friend I thought i had
turned out never to be
how could I even think
that she cared about me?
When she used to came over
Ithought she actually cared
but now it seems to me
that friendship wasn't there.
When I told her I was getting worse
she didn't ask about it or anything
she just sat there and nodded
as if to her it meant nothing.
She never used to ring me back then
it used to kill me more inside
knowing she no longer cared
whether I lived or died.
I need her help and support
and needed someone to lean on
shes no longer the friend she was
all I wish is that she'd never gone.
But now she seems to have changed
she rings a few times a week
but now its me who's given up
I no longer want to act the freak.
She didn't wanna know me
so whats changed now then?
she might be faking it all
I'm not gonna go through that again.
But because I don't want to hurt her
and I know how it feels to be treated that way
when you think someone's your friend
but they dont seem to feel the same way.
So we might aswell keep talking to each other
but I'll never be able to confide in her again
I guess it doesnt matter as long as we're friends
i just dont want to go back to how we were back then.

and, although this is a highly personal and touching piece, i think its something that, sadly, a lot of people will be able to relate to...from either friends perspective.
