a thousand sorrys can't undo what's been done
no matter what you say,
it doesn't take the pain away
and i hate it but that's the way it's got to be
you knew that it would hurt me
you knew that it would hurt me
but you did it anyway
no friend of mine
would do this to me
and be so selfish
not to think
i dont want to forgive you
i just want to forget you
i dont want to forgive you
i just want to forget you
but then i never really win
cause now i've lost a friend
and my feelings
are spread across the floor
my heart's nailed to the door
and the trust is gone
and it's not coming back
not coming back
you say it's not a big deal
but it is to me
just goes to show
you're not really sorry
i pray you find a way to see this through my eyes
cause right now you're blind
and it's making everything worse
you're making everything worse
sooner or later your true colors will come through
for everyone to see
no friend of mine
would do this to me
and be so selfish
not to think
i dont want to forgive you
i just want to forget you
i dont want to forgive you
i just want to forget you
but then i never really win
cause now i've lost a friend
and my feelings
are spread across the floor
my heart's nailed to the door
and the trust is gone
and it's not coming back
not coming back
you say it's not a big deal
but it is to me
just goes to show
you're not really sorry
this isn't getting thrown behind me
it's not that easy
it's not that easy
not as easy as you
Author notes
i wrote this after i found out that one of my best friends was making out with my boyfriend behind my back. this poem was directed to her. she kept saying "im so sorry, im so sorry." and then would turn around and say, "it's really not that big of a deal, we just made out. it's not like we had sex".... needless to say, we are no longer friends.

One: that is a horrible thing for a friend to do, and you deserve better.
Two: This is an awesome poem and very personal, its effective and makes the reader think and relate to it. My fave bit has to be:
"but then i never really win
cause now i've lost a friend
and my feelings
are spread across the floor
my heart's nailed to the door
and the trust is gone
and it's not coming back
not coming back
you say it's not a big deal
but it is to me
just goes to show
you're not really sorry"
