Are You Friend Or Foe?

You used to be so blunt to me.
And I was always taken aback by your words.

You said I was an egoist.
You said I was self-centered.
You said I thought that the world revolves around me.
I didn't refute, partly because I was too shocked.
But maybe you were right.
You were always right.

You said sometimes I hurt you unknowingly.
You said I was cruel at times.
I didn't refute, to be exact, I can't.
Because I didn't understand where your accusations came from.
But maybe you were right.
You were always right.

You who were hurted by me, chose to hurt me deeply.
Knowing full well that your word would cut me to pieces.
But who cares?
For I was always nobody.

And now, after many years has passed, you're still the same.
The same cruel friend you were.
In case you think I forgot, I didn't.
This pain stayed dormant within me.
I've forgiven you, but I haven't forgotten.
But it's not like you care anyway.
For I am always nobody to you.
