"You left me on read
it wasn't normal for us
we were friends till the end
we were apart on the bus
you were quick to socialize
half way into the school year
and despite all my tries
I couldn't bring myself to do the same
but you didn't introduce them to me
didn't even mention my name

you began getting uninterested
we stopped keeping in touch
I guess I wasn't interesting
we faded away into only a smudge
i had to watch you with them
laughing just like we used to
now look at what we've become
my whole life is askew
i've heard this happens as people get older
it's inevitable
but this wasn't supposed to happen to us
we were unquestionable

you left me hanging
for real this time
and i will never
remain the same
a little piece of my heart
will always ache for you and i
when i look at our old texts
the pain will hit from your goodbye
but that's just the thing

you didn't say bye
you didn't explain to me
didn't tell me why
why you ran away
when we were depending on each other
just the past day
and wishing me a happy birthday before
but you left me on read
and now i'm dead,"

[to that one friend who I thought would stay forever]
