24 Hours

He was mine,
Well he was wrapped around my finger
Our lives entwined
When everyone left me he would linger

We were friends almost more,
I trusted him fully
We'd be friends forever he swore
24 hours later he's basically my bully

24 hours later I hate myself
He won't tell me why he's mad, he won't preach
It's like reason is hiding on that shelf
The shelf just out of my reach

I'm so sappy
I sit here writing love stories, crying
Feeling like my life is crappy
I want to write him a letter instead of hiding

I don't want to isolate myself from him
He deserves to know all the details
I hope it the letter won't be something he skims
And in the end as my friend he will prevail

But I don't want to be pathetic
I want to go back to him being my friend
All day I've been apologetic
Until it's normal my sadness won't end

It's funny, yet not so funny
What 24 hours can do
