You Poem by Nikki Taboada

You meant everything to me

Truthfully you were the reason I woke up every morning

Then you began to drift away

Turning away from my embrace

and treating my like an annoyance



You were my happiness

Truthfully I couldn't smile without you there

Then you stopped talking to me

Talking to the pretty girls instead

and regarding me as a fool



You were my best friend

Truthfully my life centered around you

Then you stopped caring

Turning your own 'I love you' into a lie

and considering my own confession with a cold expression



You said I was your old friend

Soon after you walked away without a 'goodbye'

Then you only spoke to me when convinient

and openly flirted with others in front of me



You said you would forever by there for me

Soon after you lost interest and left

Then you stopped replying to my emails

and looked at me with unloving eyes



You said we would be friends forever

Soon after you came around less

Then you stopped treating my like a human being

and time seperated us more



I know I said those words too

Those words that you made seem like a lie

'I love you'

Weren't words I used loosly like you



I know I returned your hugs

Those warm signs of friendship were in fact cold

I wasn't special to you

Was I ever important..?



I know I brought it upon myself

Falling for you despite your clear words

'I won't ever consider you more than a friend'

Was I the fool..?



Now all I can do is treat you as a stranger

So that my heart can finally erase

The unease I felt around you



Now all I can do is ignore you

So that I can forget

That lonliness I felt when I was by your side
