The Choice of One

By: Jamie

The best friend I ever had

Turned her back on me today

And as I read her hurtful words

All I said was “okay”

For anyone who aims to cause

So much grief and pain

Can never be a friend to me

That much, at least, is plain

She had long since failed to ask

And long since failed to care

Whether I was well or not

Or how much I could bear

She tried to pin the guilt on me

She tried to make me cry

But all the words she said to me

Were nothing but a lie

“You hate all my friends,” she said

But aren’t they my friends, too?

But when one decides a friendship’s done

There’s nothing left to do
