“Besides, it’s not like you’ll see me
Walking through the halls…
Boys hanging off my limbs,
Their hormones bouncing off the walls.”

Judging by the outcome,
I’d say she succeeded.
Now that I’ve been shunned,
I’ve never felt more needed!

Though soon as it had happened,
I noticed something strange:
Being forgotten by her
Wasn’t that much of a change.

“I feel so awkward with you,
It gets rather dismaying.”
Whoops – here, I thought that awkwardness
Was brought on by her betraying!

“We’re uncomfortable now together,
I feel like I’ve annoyed you.
And rather than discuss it,
I believe I should avoid you.”

At least there was a pretense
When we were kinetic.
Now she’s inconsiderate
Rather than merely apathetic.

I didn’t ask for all that much,
There was very little I required…
Namely love and reassurance,
To feel a little special, maybe even, admired?

I’m sure it must have seemed a lot
To make it appear as though I mattered.
But then, look how simple it was
To make my whole world shattered!

“I’m helping you, stop being mean!
I’m trying to make amends!”
She’s right; I’m mean, I’m nothing.
I was only her best friend.
