I saw your story

Which you hadn’t counted on me seeing.

I noticed the many messages the group had sent

When you all thought I wasn’t active.

It hurt me more than I would like to admit.

Almost as soon as I left the group chat

You texted me on another app.

And when I asked, you called it a coincidence.

Yeah, some coincidence.

Today felt crushing but

Sadly I wasn’t surprised.

I’ll just grit my teeth and

Let the tears well in my eyes.

I thought we were friends

But then you chose to put him before me.

Yes, I was not the greatest when I was dating him

But I know I was never this mean.

You hurt me. You can come to claim your credit.

Those videos of you made me feel sick

Worse, you tried to deny what you did

And when I asked, you still claimed your allegiance.

Yeah, some allegiance yours is.

Today felt crushing but

It will get lighter, I know.

I’ll have an uphill climb

That I will try to survive

Then I will bask

In our friendship’s afterglow.
