You Win my Friendship

It was fun
But it took
A lot of energy
And left me exausted

I realize now
That I was playing
An unwinnable game
You are unwinnable

It was a waste
A waste of my time
And a waste of energy
Just to try

I am sick
Of trying to tell you
I care
You should know

So now I forfeit
You win
And you get just my friendship
It is what you wanted

I get energy
I get relief
In knowing
I don’t have to try.
