Poetry

I don't expect you to love me
But I don't want to be hated without reason
I understand you aren't happy about this,
But that's no reason to backstab and commit treason.
I get that you think I will take your place,
But I'm not here for that, and this life's not a race
I get that you've known him for longer than I
But I'm not that crazy, and my standards aren't high
I don't want your friendship to fall apart,
It's not like I went and stole his heart,
I can't help his choices, if he talks to me more
If I'm friends with your friend, it doesn't make me a whore
If jealousy's the reason for your acting like this,
I think your heart did the aiming, but your brain made a miss.
