I Should Have Known Better By Now

It Hurts

I can put on a pretty smile
And flirt with all the boys
I can play and laugh
And hang out with my friends
I can distract myself up until
I exhaust myself enough to sleep
But Still

It Hurts

You've broken the one promise
I thought you would keep
You left when I needed you most
And pushed me away
When you should have needed me
Which means there is nothing left

It Hurts

I thought the title of best friends meant something
I thought love meant something
I must have been wrong, or deluded, or lied to
Because now all I have left is an empty promise
A shattered heart, and a broken smile

It Hurts

Everytime you don't reply
Everytime I hear about you
Everytime I accidently run into you
Hearing about her
About how well you are doing
Your not falling apart without me
I doubt you care and

It Hurts
So Fucking Much

Author notes

I wrote this a while ago. Only just posted it. About a best friend, who walked away without a second thought.

Please tell me what you think

    hmmm, this is a neat take on an often shared subject, at first i didnt quite get into the "groove" of it, but it picked up and started to flow, and by the time i had finished, i was sold. the end was rather nice i thought, im terrible with endings myself.

    im sorry you hurt... i see this happen often enough, and im still bewildered at how some can give and retract a friendship without a second thought. i guess its a terrible choice we are all faced with, to decide whether to continue to love childlike and open, or to protect ourselves as best we can, and "know better".

    thank you for the lovely write.

    Honey, I am sure this one that many of will be able to relate to. I know I can relate to it. And you are right, it does hurt, and it hurts like there is no tomorrow. I think the only thing that hurts worse is knowing there is nothing you can do about it either. I hope you are doing ok now.

    Great job on this one.
