burn the bridge on monday

poem by: K Alexander
Written on Apr 22, 2016

You called 
I ran to you
What you asked of me 
I did but cannot continue

It started out small
A favour here or there
Im not usually one to keep score
But i believe in whats fair

Sure you live awhile away 
And its hard to be on buses every day
But just help me out here
And il meet you halfway

For some reason 
My helping you 
Seems to be an inconvience
Not to me but apparantly to you 

A couple more days
I'll chase after you if i must
But come monday
That's the last you'll get from us

I wouldn't burn this bridge
If you'd just help me to help you 
But in the end your too selfish
To see im only doing what i must do

So I will spend too much money
And chase you around town if i must
Because I made a promise
And I dont break them that you can trust

Come monday night
I'll burn this bridge between us
Because it isnt friendship 
If it only about you and not us
