Roses Always Grow Thorns At Some Point
For five and a half years I put up with you
Stayed friends and listened to you
I didn’t know you spread rumors about
How you loved me and I loved you
But Cupids arrows never struck,
Only anger and confusion and sadness.
I couldn’t be friends with someone who
Lied, annoyed others, never took responsibility for their mistakes,
Their actions
So I left you
Now two years later here you are.
Acting like you love me again, like you care
Acting all friendly
But i wont,
Can’t be friends again
It’s like your trying so hard to get my attention,
Your just getting evan more annoying
The more you chase me,
The farther i’ll run
It hurts to see my friends and others interact with you so much
Because I’m worried what happened to me,
Will happen to them
