Ever had a friend like that?

It’s enough to remember
the times that were good
while it feels like forever
I wish that I could…
For it’s long since forgotten
the moments so few
when it seemed I could trust in the
friend that was you.

Now it’s time to move on
to be true to myself
all along I was used to be
put on a shelf…
But my wings felt so heavy
when bound within lies
so I traded my cage
for the bluest of skies.

If I needed a fair-weather friend
you would do
nothing I can say now
would have meaning to you…
Like a beggar you traded your soul
for a dime
now your arrogant ways
are a waste of my time.

I’ve found meaning to my life
I wish you could see
that the past we have shared
means so little to me…
So let’s stop pretending
that you love me so
‘cause I never knew you,
so just let it go.

Nicely stated.
It's a realization that can be hard to accept. Cut the cord, move on, be strong.
