Forgotten Friends

As far back as I remember
You were always my friend
I guess I presumed
It would never end
You knew all my secrets
And I knew all yours
You knew all my strengths
You knew all my flaws
And then we got older
Things started to shift
Boyfriends and jealousy
Would soon cause a rift
I knew that he hurt you
Never treated you right
I tried my best to warn you
After that night
When he tried to kiss me
As you drove his friends home
With your pregnant stomach
You left him alone
It only confirmed
What I already knew
My hatred towards him
Grew and it grew
When your baby was born
I tried to be there
But you wanted him, not me
You just didn't care
So I took a back seat
And let you do it yourself
Our friendship was pushed
To the back of the shelf
Then one night you came
In total dismay
And I sat and I wiped
Your tears away
You decided to give things
One final try
I told you don't do it
Didn't understand why
Time pushed us further
And further apart
Then something happened
Which broke my heart
My Mam passed away
You didn't even phone
I was left with my grief
Forgotten and alone
Then at her funeral
You stood and watched me cry
Then you suddenly left
without saying goodbye
In the time since
You've tried to make amends
But it's too late now
We can never be friends
