I was hurt when you didn’t call.
I was hurt when you didn’t write.
I was hurt when you were “busy”
During each and every invite.
And my heart was broken
When I saw the pics
You were all there, smiling, together -
only we were missed.
And the holidays were lonely
Without you all there
But, I think, that may be when I realized
That you just didn’t care.
And it hurt when I visited your profile
And found we were no longer friends
Though, I guess I really shouldn’t be surprised
That what little we had left came to an end.
I wanted for us to be closer.
Wished and hoped and tried.
I’ve missed the bond that we once had.
I’ve grieved it so; I’ve cried.
But that doesn’t mean I’ll follow you
Across bridges you have torched.
I love you and I’ll miss you, but I’m no longer
Willing to get scorched.
