She sits with them today
She never looks my way
She never sits at my table anymore
She just sits with them

What is a friendship
If there is no trust
If there is no love
If there is no care

We walk by each other
All the time
She doesn't look at me
She doesn't talk to me
Yet I see her everywhere
With her new friends

She ignores my existence
She ignores what we had
She ignores the fact
That I'm still sad

We never text
We never take photos
We never hang out
At least not anymore

But hey, what are friends for?

Based on several of my broken friendships. To all of those who decided I wasn't good enough for them.
