Perseforis

What is a friend? What is the difference Between acceptable hurt And hurting me too much? When can I no longer Be a friend to him? The one who seems Like he doesn't care He is my friend I care, I'm there for him But, is he ever there for me? Do I get anything but pain? His words cut deep. Lack of words cuts even deeper Years of being brought to tears By thoughtless word and deed I tell him he hurts me He gets upset, makes me guilty Apologizes profusely Next week, it's the same When do I stop? When do I say enough? I can't stop, say enough Because even if he doesn't care I do.
