Why Be A Coward?

Why can’t you say it to my face?
Why can’t you tie it up together like a shoelace?
Guess who I found it out from?
My best friend, but only some,
She promised not to tell,
But of course it’s her nature just to sell.
I’m not only hurt, but kind of embarrassed.
That you don’t have the nerve of the rarest,
I guess I knew you wrong.
I’ve waited so long,
To know how you feel about me.
So thanks for being such a jerk, and “passing along” the key
Of secrets, of which I have been ready to see.
