He gives friendship; she gives naught

by undying blusher   Jul 13, 2005


She not once offered a shoulder to lean on
as he always did
She never took the time to really get to know him as he honestly tried
She never truly listened; besides, he’s unable to come speak to her
For what HIS heart is aching for is she – she looks right through him, has no clue what lingers in his mind these days;
maybe she did in the beginning, when the friendship was first beginning…
She forever assumed he’d be there for her to come back to,
waiting patiently with a pretty box of tissues.
When she’s desperate for comfort or in need for advice involving
her “love life”
Or just someone to talk to, or not even that…
Someone who’ll simply sit with her when she’s feeling so awful - given that ‘that guy,’
the boyfriend, is the reason she’s feeling this
way, time and again regret fills her from within.
She used him as a cushion, a safety net; he was merely used…and gave all he could…until he had nothing left.
