Burning Bridges

I was always taught

To help a friend when they fall

Apparently you weren't

Left me bashed against the wall

You turned your back on me

Covered your ears from my cries

Everything you claim to be

Is a façade made up of lies

Held down

Shoved around

Used and Thrown away

After all I've done for you

How can you treat me this way?

How could I defend you?

Then take all the blame?

I was put through hell and back

Plus left with all this shame

Why should I be mortified

When what I did was brave?

You all mean nothing now

When in need I was betrayed

When you were choking

I hurried by your side

Now its time to sacrifice

And all you do is hide

Held down

Shoved around

Used and Thrown away

After all I've done for you

How can you treat me this way?

How could I defend you?

Then take all the blame?

I was put through hell and back

Plus left with all this shame

You pretended not to notice

You pretended not to care

How do I deserve this?

Life is so unfair.
