You laugh at my mistakes,
Point out my flaws.
And yet there you set,
So insecure, so alone;
Caring not how my heart aches.

I despise you,
Yet you're like a drug;
Always keeping me in your grasp.
But I'm through with this.
Im done with you.

I'm standing on my own,
As I should have in the first place.
And you?
You will be all alone.

I do wish it wasn't this way,
But friendship requires maturity
And trust.
And neither, you convey.

So here I go.
With structure holding me up as I face the unknown.
I hope one day,
You will rise from this low.
