Temporarily Friends


Dear B, You hurt me And I don't know if I can ever Get myself back But maybe that's a good thing Maybe there were lessons I had to learn Because not everyone has your best interests at heart And not everyone who says they love you means it Sometimes we have to choose who hurts us, and sometimes we have to decide what we learned from that pain From you I learned that not everyone is beautiful Not everyone is good Some people will never know they hurt me Because they just don't know But you won't know because you refused to see it I told you how you hurt me And you didn't believe me You tried to guilt me And manipulate me And use me for your benefit Well I'm done You are only important in that I learned a lot You only matter because you taught me That life is cruel Everyone who has been in my life Has been there for a reason Either to support me and love me for who I am Or to teach me lessons, even if they hurt And you, my dear, were always only temporary Sincerely, The Girl You Broke
