Unfaithful and unkind...not me,
rude and obnoxious...not me;
abusing and accusing...not me
dishonest and judgemental...not me

Not me, my former friend,
but you have hurt me
and our closeness
has come to an end.

Yet you are unfaithful,
as you betray me with others;
you are unkind to me,
to their sisters and brothers.

Not me...I still love you,
and forgive your rude reply;
not me...I will care for you,
until the day I die.

Your words were abusing,
comments became accusing;
what did I ever do to you,
for now it's me you are using.

Yes you, not me,
I was a true friend;
never dishonest or judgemental,
flowers and notes I did send.

When you made mistakes,
you were always forgiven;
now the things you do to me,
are effecting my daily living.

God says we must forgive,
and I forgive your wrong;
but our friendship is over,
even though it lasted long.

Not me...I am not a doormat,
Not me...I cannot endure;
all the pain you are causing,
because you're never sure.

Not me...as I say good-bye,
with your coldness all around;
I will not cry anymore,
leaving without a single sound...not me.
