Your Crown

[americanclassicx3]

You were so selfish and mean, yet careless and serene
Only sixteen, yet you thought you were a queen

And I was your slave, giving all that I gave
Pretending to be brave, 'till you dug up my grave

When no one was around, there was never a frown
You never put me down, gripping so tightly to your crown

Yet as soon as they would come, you managed to become
So unbelievably numb, something you couldnt escape from

You slashed and you tore, 'till I was worse than before
It was hard to ignore, "I just can't deal with you anymore!"

The second they'd leave, you'd pull another trick out of your sleeve
I'd pretend to believe, but I was never that naive

I never wanted it to end, even though you were a bad friend
I couldn't comprehend why we couldn't just pretend

Now I finally see that it just wasn't meant to be
Your loyalty to me was never a guarantee

I still talk to you everyday - you're not rude in any way
I'm so proud to finally say, "We're better off this way."

So whenever you are in despair, just be aware
That I still care no matter what type of friendship we share

i have had a few friends like this
and i think that a really close friend is starting to get this way but still i'll always be there.

love it

i thoroughly enjoyed it. it flowed along quite well. just line after line flowed along like a shimmering stream. i found the end very peculiar though. i mean, it seems this friend played tricks on you and treated you bad in front of others for some reason or another. but at the end you mention how their loyalty was not good but you still talk to them and value their friendship. is it like a close but far away friendship? like safely distanced from them but still interacting with them? other than that, i really enjoyed it. people are unpredictable. thats why their one of MY biggest fears. keep on posting, your doing great.
