Worthless to me
I have tried to be the good friend
to be honest, supportive
lifting you up when you are down
and listening to your insecurities
After all this time
it doesn't surprise me anymore
but it still makes me wonder
why it is so easy to cut ties
As much as I have loved someone
they are always disposable
ingrained into me from years
of moving at the drop of a hat
So it is regrettable, yet acquired
that I simply do not care
that I do not wish to be friends
with someone like you anymore
Like flipping a light switch
I went from caring about you deeply
to giving you no more thought
than that of a passing stranger on the street
I am conditioned to move on unaffected
you doubted me when I gave honesty
and for me, that is enough
to find you worthless in my eyes

Often the way. You are human. Good voice in this; not acidic, just sayin' how it is. But the punctuation?
I'll just be quiet. :)

I like the commas, they have their purpose in there, but I will see what can be done. ;) Thanks for stopping by. You're right, it is not a disdainful piece, it is simply stated fact. :)

Hmm it could be taken as a distasteful piece as it progresses, but it clearly states in the beginning how you actually tried to keep the relationship. You do alot more than most people for your 'friends'. I think your ability to cut ties with somebody so dimwitted (is that a good word?) is a good quality. Interesting poem Caliban.

Thanks Kourtnis, I am glad you found my poem interesting. I suppose it could look a little edgy, maybe I was feeling something after all? Well, it was an easy 'cut'. This person definitely made the decision for me.

For each mood there is an appropriate writing!
Sometimes it isnt more than just basic facts...
I recognize what you say, its true, very true

Your welcome, it was a very refreshing poem to write. I feel relieved that I simply do not care anymore, simple as that. Moving on is a beautiful thing. Thanks for the comment. :)

Oh Annie, Ive missed your ink!:)
This piece sadden me! I can't see how someone would not be drawn to such a free spirited and authentic being as yourself! However, I can see how you would feel after many heartaches within the friendship, how one may seem Worthless to you in the end! Nicely put! xoxoxo

Aw, you are so sweet to me! <3 It is what it is, I guess. I am not the person to beg for someone to stay, and normally, if I for some reason do beg, I normally come to my senses in a few days and end the friendship on my own volition. Thanks for stopping by! xoxo

Hellsteeth, I can relate to this.
It really boils the blood when all you do is constantly help those who are undeserving of.
Excellent write. Loved it.
