Never Known Anyone Like You

I'm sick of you
Sick of the way you abuse me,
Sick of the way you expect me to be OK.
Tired of your double standards,
How you play me against myself
And act like you're the innocent party.

I'm fed up with your treating me like you do
And done with putting up with it.
I thought maybe I could give you
The benefit of the doubt,
But you abuse that like everything else
I ever gave to you.

I've never known anyone like you.
I trusted you initially, like I trust anyone,
But then you betrayed my trust,
As others have done before,
Yet somehow you earned enough back
So that I could be comfortable with you again.

And then, in one deft move,
You threw it all away.

Maybe you didn't understand how trust works
With me,
Most people don't even get a second chance.

Nobody gets a third.

So I hope that it hits you,
What you've done
To yourself as much as me.
You've lost a loyal friend,
And there's almost no chance of getting him back.

You're on your own now.
Have fun.
