Poetry: Bad friends

by Alicia Sloley

Created on: April 12, 2008   Last Updated: January 17, 2009

We have known each other for so many years
But today it became so crystal clear

For years we were so very close
I thought of you much more than most

I thought for years you meant the best for me
But it is so clear now that was not to be

You loved it when things for me went wrong
All the time telling me to be strong

When in fact you were in enjoying every minute
Every failure i had you loved it

When things were good i was happy doing well
You would do everything in your power to spoil it until it fell

Apart and you would have that smirked grin
As if to yourself you knew you would win

To see me fail at what i did
Brought so much pleasure to you as if you were a kid

Now that is about to change for i see you for what you are
A person ill never trust and keep very far

Away from me in everything i think and do
You will never again be able to treat me like a fool

You never really were a friend
Just someone who would only be there when

You would find pleasure from my unhappiness
But i know now i am truly blessed

you are a sad pathetic jealous soul
who never again will i ever show

The love and kindness i have inside
For a friend you are not and i say this with pride

For now i see your such wicked ways
And know that i have been truly saved
