Where were you?!

You were quiet when I needed you most.

Heart out on my sleeve, didn’t seem to make a difference.

Apparently I needed you more than you needed me.

But that wasn’t always so.

What wonderful times and adventures we went on,

Connected when you hit rock bottom.

The only one to see through the lies that made your heart bleed.

Yet here I am, it’s my turn to fall face first into despair.

But where were you?

I needed you, and all I got were excuses.

I reached out again and again,

Giving you the benefit of the doubt.

You’re just busy you say.

You’re not spending any time with any of your friends,

It has nothing to do with me you say,

Then why was it that I was pushed aside.

Shoved out of your life after I gave you everything I could

When I’m the one put on hold.

I NEEDED YOU.

WHERE WERE YOU?!

Where were you when it was my turn to fall apart.

WHERE WERE YOU?!

Continues:

Was I too much to handle?

Too much trauma and despair?

Did I hold on too tightly, clinging to every piece of a friendship I thought I had.

How could I have been so naïve,

To think that things would ever return as normal.

I gave you my heart, my friendship only to be brushed aside like a fair weather friend.

I was there for you at your lowest, but now that it’s my turn to take a turn for the worst,

you just disappeared.

Oh Phew!

Glad you and your new beau are off to a good start. I thought the poem was about your current relationship.

I was ghosted by an old friend years ago.

He came to my wedding…I got him a job where I worked…got him on my baseball team. Then one day POOF!..he disappeared. I went over to his parent’s house as I was worried. They told me he was fine.

If I ever meet him on the street, I’ve got a good mind to clock him.
