Replaced

By Yashvi Raval

Of all the promises that we made

We'll live forever

Was my favourite

That piece of paper I kept it safe

It was from my only best friend

But I guess you didn't even remember that

When you replaced me with somebody else

Somebody whose name starts with an 'S'

And I bet

All the games that we played

Now she gets to do that

And you don't even seem to care.

Good things are better left in the past

I am not going to beg you to play your part

All I wanted was a good friend

For that I tried my best

But now you have lost me forever

Consider it your worst mistake.

I know it's not too late

I've stopped waiting for you but I won't forget

Every time I cried in my sister's lap

She told me I will get a better friend

You were not worth to me after all

Again your worst mistake.

And all the sleepovers we had

Late night masti on the bed

But I guess you didn't even remember that

When you replaced me with somebody else

That girl whose name starts with an 'S'

And I bet

All the jokes that we cracked

Now she gets to have them

And you don't even seem to care.

You deny betrayal

But I am not dumb,

You are such a player

You use and throw people

Only to come back later.

All the hurtful things you said to me,

I bet you didn't even remember

You ask for forgiveness

But that you are sorry is only facial.

I will tell you what is factual

You never valued neither me nor us

What did I do wrong?

That you broke my trust

Was I not enough?

And all the classes that we went together

I bet you didn't even remember

When you replaced me with somebody else

The new bestie whose name starts with an 'S'

And all the cakes that I baked

Not a second before she ate

But you don't even seem that you care.

You always knew when I was upset

Now all is left is the excuses you make

But your spot is also replaced with somebody else

Somebody, that cares about my day

And tells "Hey! Let's play.

And at least I know it’s not fake.

When I want to talk she's free

She takes out time for me

What you should have done as a friend

But I guess not seeing each other is how this ends.
