Don't let people consume you.


I let them just walk right over me. You ignored me for several weeks. Look at the results. Why are you surprised? You expect me to continue to talk to you after you left me to die on the roof of the building? If I were to kill myself right now you wouldn't even give me a little bit of remorse. But if it was you who was on the roof, I would do anything to just convince you to not jump. Maybe because I care too much. Or maybe because I have too big of a heart to care for myself. Yeah we used to be close, but it's not my fault you threw me in the ashes. I tried so hard to save our friendship, while you just threw it away as if I was just a gum wrapper. You left me when I needed you the most. So don't blame me for the reason why we don't talk anymore. If you hated me that much, why didn't you say anything.
