The Vanity of the Storm

In quoting Carly Simon


“You’re so vain…I bet you think this song is about you”


Unlike the other songs, yes this one IS about you.


Frankly, your narcissistic and self indulgent behavior is draining


Do you really think that with all I have going on in my personal life


that I have time to really think about you all the time


AH NO!


I let you cry on my shoulder at your darkest hour


laughed with you (not at you) when it was fun & games






Now you find yourself reading between lines of the imaginary


ARE YOU KIDDING ME?


First I was annoyed and offended


Then I was just numb


Now I am indifferent






I sympathize with your pain


But understand that you’re pushing many away


Understand that though I forgive your confusion and misunderstanding


our friendship will never be the same






I am not a fan of accusations & assumption thrown my way


when I don’t deserve them


Know that you pushed the one person who had your ear


& was a true advocate for your plights


& know that I don’t wish you ill will


I wish you peace of mind


BE WELL
