To You, My Friend

Love me,
Because it feels as if I’m always alone,
Because I feel numb and at the core
I’m dead and gone
Hate me
Because of the things I do,
The breaks I make in my skin
Let people know to never let me in
Care for me
Because no one else will.
Because maybe then I will feel.
Because with no one to care I’ve grown reckless
Ignore me
Because I deserve it
Because everyone else does,
And to go against the flow is wrong
Think of me
Because you know you will
Because after I’ve done and gone,
People will say things you know isn’t true.
Remember me
Because as kids we were best friends,
Because you know you could have
Changed the way I ended.
