Fallback

So sick of being
used, abused --
my kindness and friendship
being abused?
What has this world come to?
Lies sliding off tongues
as sly as a kiss;
I gave you my trust,
my word,
and you gave me yours --
that we'd be best friends
forever and more.

I refuse to be your fallback,
whenever your girlfriends
realize how you're not worthy --
worthy of our friendship and love.

I always forgive and forget,
but not this time.
This time I won't mend.
If you dare come crawling back,
I swear I'm done --
as much as it hurts. . .
