To someone I used to know.
You keep saying you shouldn't have to justify your life.
And all the choices you've made,
In the past year.
Yet...
You continue to do so.
It seems to me,
That if deep down,
You were truly happy with all of it,
You wouldn't continue to explain.
You would just live.
Is there anything you would change?
You go on and on about how we all abandoned you.
About how it's all her fault,
And if we were understanding people,
We would be able to accept it.
But the truth is,
I think deep down you realize,
Just how fucked up the situation is.
You didn't lose your friends,
Because they were close minded people.
You didn't lose your friends,
Because they didn't care enough to understand.
You lost your friends,
Because you lied. You lied to them,
And I'm pretty sure you've been lying to yourself.
If he succeeds,
And wins his battle,
Then great.
He's proved us all wrong.
But if you stepped back,
And looked at the situation objectively,
You would see it as we do.
He's tried to fight it before,
And lost.
Time and time again.
And frankly,
There is no evidence that this time won't be the same.
There's only so long that you can sit,
And watch someone kill themselves,
Before you have to remove yourself from the situation,
Or risk becoming a total masochist.
You can't go down with a sinking ship.
Taking care of someone isn't stupid.
But losing yourself to "save" them is.
I once cared a lot about you.
I once drove out to your house,
At three in the morning,
To comfort you,
And make you realize that it'd all be okay.
I talked on the phone to you,
From a thousand miles away,
To hear what was new in your life.
Then he came.
And we all watched as you fell.
Time and time again.
We watched you stretch yourself paper thin,
To make his life better.
You didn't lose your friends,
Because we are bad people.
You lost your friend because you chose to do so.
You chose to throw everything that you are,
Away,
For him.
I hope he is worth it.
I hope you guys live happily ever after.
I honestly do.
Most everyone deserves that kind of happiness.
But you have to take responsibility of your end,
Of this mess.
You changed and you did things that were wrong.
We lost all faith in you.
And that is what happened.
And all the choices you've made,
In the past year.
Yet...
You continue to do so.
