Odd One Out

Why do you treat
Those you care about
In this manner?

Perhaps I’m being selfish,
When I tell you that it makes me
Angry,
To see you treat me like this.
To know that I care,
I think the world of you,
To believe that you return
The affection
That I do;
Yet you don’t show it
You don’t act out
The words you say you mean.
I find,
I feel,
I think
That you’re lying.

You live for him,
Which, on its own,
I would be happy about;
But to know,
That the moment he walks in the room,
Our friendship means nothing more
Than a passing ‘Hello’
Saddens,
Angers,
Hurts me so.

I wish I could understand.
I wish that I could see,
Just why you act the way you do,
But I can’t, perhaps it’s just me.
I always believed, that friends
Are a man’s true family,
That even when a husband, wife, partner comes along,
You’d still at least give them some attention.
Well, I do.

I guess I’m the odd one out.
